New to me M10A

[ckollander]

Hello everyone,
Just purchased a 1980 M10A and was wondering if anybody has a parts manual for this forklift.
I have the operators manual and service manual and would like to have the parts manual or somewhere that i can look up part #'s.
i am looking for the part # for the fuel filters right now, i have the part # for the oil filters.
I have always wanted to get one of my own, in 1981 when i was stationed in Germany i ran one for 2 years pcs'd to Fort ord California and ran one for 2 years
and when on an exercise to South Korea and ran one for a few months.
Always wanted to get my own.
Thanks for any help in the future

Here is me on the units new 1981 M10A, I did paint the camo on it as it came to us in the green.
I remember it being delivered with an oshkosh M911 and there huge trailer system.
I used to haul this forklift around with a 1981 M916
19 years old and living the dream

Can I use John Deere Hy-Gard as
That's what I already have for my John Deere Tractor

Lube order says OE/HDO-10
That's just a 10 weight oil.
10 weight oil is equivalent to ISO 32 hydraulic oil.

Hy gard is between ISO 46 and 68 for viscosity

It would probably work, but is a heavier weight, so might be a little slow, or might not.

Low temp/arctic oil was OEA, which I can't find an actual weight for, but I would imagine is thinner than the OE/HDO-10, so again, the hy gard is probably a little heavy, especially for Minnesota winters.
