Question

I am interested in converting a 1950's era propane powered Heister forklift to electric (recently solar powered) but don't have the mechanical know how. I am solicitating opinions and advice as to whether this is a possible/reasonable thing to do. Also ideas for how to do it and where to buy parts. Thanks!
