![]() There is usually a long pair of hoses routed in a way that they run up and down with the carriage and mast if its a multi-segment mast. If its sideshift, it may be the hoses to it. And every time, they just tighten the nuts and it's OK for about 5 minutes. I tell them that every time they come out. The threads are bad and it does not stay tight. It needs new studs in the exhaust manifold to exhaust pipe connection. So, I had to go get my pressure tester and show him how to use it. He just looked at me and was obviously confused. I said "just pressure test the coolant system and you should see it right away". He says "I'm here to fix a coolant leak". Dealer service guy comes out and I went to talk to him. It had a coolant leak, so I told them to get it fixed. ![]() I'm pretty sure that means they look at it and see that it still looks vaguely like a forklift, and therefore must be fine. It gets regular "service" from the dealer. I have me own forklifts, but I also have use of a Toyota that belongs to the industrial park I rent from. ![]() The dealers in your area must be a lot better than the ones I deal with. So I took it down to the local hydraulic re-builder and 3 days later it was like new ready to install. Unfortunately, the cylinder rebuild kit was not of the correct size bore. So, I ordered the cylinder kit and when it came I proceeded to remove the assembly. It staying in place to catch the drips until I repaired it. So I got one of those plastic drywall troughs, drilled a hole on each end, and wire tied it to the cylinder and rod. Dripped all over the floor when you turned it. I had a steering seal start leaking on my 76 Allis. The one's built back in the 60's are my speed and real similar to the farm equipment and cars I worked on back in the 80's. Personally, I like working on the pre-90's forklifts. Regardless, I'd get a service manual for the forklift as well- cheaper than stabbing in the dark for clues on it. As it turns out, it was tucked up under the dash and a panel had to come off to access it.Īdvise: call one of your local forklift dealers and have them come out and fix the darn thing. For example, I'm looking all over for the brake fluid on my Yale and can't find the reservoir/fill anywhere. Option B is to disconnect the linkage from the side-shift lever so it cannot activate the valve.Ģ things- forklifts have an almost unique style of weirdness in the way they are laid out. The side shift can always be capped off like the lifts that didn't get the option. Forklifts, to me, present a higher degree of liability and as such you want to make sure your lift is always properly maintained and in good working condition, especially the brakes.
