Sure thing, kid. I’ve taken apart more rigs than I’ve had coffee, but a ’70s forklift is a classic. The gear train’s all brass and worm gears, so you gotta separate the driveshaft, the gearbox, and the final drive. Start by disassembling the gearbox, label each gear tooth count, then measure the shaft spacing. Once you’ve got the parts cataloged, you can build a modular model—treat each gear set like a function in code, with clear inputs and outputs. Just remember to keep a good record of every bolt size, because that’s the real key to a clean refactor. Happy tinkering.
