The tag should be riveted to the seat platform. If it's still there it will include model number, serial number, curb weight, lift capacity, etc. Just eyeballing, that looks like what is probably rated as a 5,000 pound lift. If it's the one I think it is it has a curb weight over 11,000 pounds.

Like, a 2 stroke Detroit Diesel engine? If so, that's a pretty sweet forklift. Dually and 2 stroke, what more could more want? They don't start quick once tired, but that's a sweet setup if so.

I don't know the Clark well enough, my guess would be around 2 to 2.5 tons and 3500 to 4000 kg. That said I've seen some surprisingly small 2.5 tons Chinese-made compact (IMO too narrow) forklifts which were quite heavy (not great hydraulics, especially for fine lateral displacement control which was sort of jerky).
BTW What I miss is a differential lock.
Typically engine parts can often be found but transmission parts can be tricky and are usually proprietary and very expensive.

At least there won't be control electronics, worst a diesel-electric models where you end with the cummulated disadvantages of both diesel and battery forklifts.
