Really cool to see this channel picking up steam and really start growing. Reminds me of Diesel Creek in the early days. Excited to see things progress!

Someone once said: perfection always gets in the way of “good enough.”

Torx bits are good for those rounded allen plugs, their points match the corners of the hexagon so they are quite easy to hammer in without grinding them before.

As nasty as that filter looked, I’d be suspicious that there wasn’t gunk someplace else in the system that was keeping the oil from flowing properly. If there’s someway you can blow out all the old stuff and get some nice clean fresh stuff in it your problem could be solved. I think you’re jumping to a conclusion thinking that the pump is bad knowing how bad that fluid looked.

True to the Low Buck Garage theme!!! If it ain't broke, don't fix it... Way too often people fix things by loading up the parts cannon, and pour money on it like it is a free condiment at the salad bar...

A real informative look at a hydraulic system. Of the utmost interest to me at present, now that's lucky.

Take a old 5 gallon bucket with a lid. Put your funnels in it. You’ll never have dirty funnels.

This channel is a Gem!! Thanks buddy I learned a lot and had fun in the process!

Brilliant fault finding. I wouldn't have known where to start but I do know how big a rag to push through an oil filler! 😀

Love you man, you inspired me to pick up a free lawnmower and get it running well again.

Lol, I liked the filter blooper at the end . I did that with a carb jet for an ATV once but it flew right into the bush never to be found... It'll be a lot handier now that you don't have to tow it around 😉

I feel your pain. I own a JD 300 backhoe. Parts are like finding hens teeth. And very high if you find them even used. Has always Liked and shared. All my very best.

Very nice approach- I love how you explained the system. And a perfect time to cut and rest I say. Who knows, the old maybe-if-I-just-use-it-now-and-hope-it-frees-up plan may still work. 😎

I really enjoy your channel as I tend to be the same with keeping it cheap and cheerful, not to be dangerous or a scrooge but not spending money I don’t have to. One of the automatic transmission additives may help with the pump and get you some more life out of it. It might be worth noting that on a machine that old the clutches are likely to be asbestos so blowing the particles in your face may not be a good thing to do. I had an old 4 cylinder Clarke forklift and we called it “Donk A Donk” because it only fired on 3 cylinders so that was the sound it made. I changed the head gasket but it turned out to be a bad valve which I didn’t check as it’s was a side valve so I just left it because, like you, it still did what I needed it to. Americans make me laugh when you call threads metric and standard because it’s metric and imperial, as in British imperial. You kicked the British out centuries ago yet you cling on to their archaic system of weights and measures. Even the Brits went metric but that’s ok because we still have the monarch and the Union Jack in our flag. Cheers Stuart 🇦🇺

I love your dry, matter of fact humour.

Long long ago...I found and subscribed to this channel when I asked KZfaq " Show me forklifts " and they sent me here. I owe my good fortune to your old forklift. tHanks for the videos! (Oh and I guessed early on ...inching valve. But I was guessing).

I am starting to recognize the thumbs up moments 👍

another great learning video for me love these hands-on how to videos

Great practical explanation. Good compromise to use it as it is

Great How to video on a forlkift that I will never own but I had FUN watching you work on it. Way better than commercial TV or other brain rot. Carry on dude and cheers!

Nice work figuring out the issue 🙂👍

That was a good video. I think I would replaced all the filters with new though. If they were available. But then that is just the way I am.

AH , The things you can learn on your channel , very good video .

I've had good luck with using torx bits in rounded off hex bolts, the fins kinda bite in. Great videos, keep it up.

We have a 50 year old cat diesel forklift and one day the transmission quit working all together. When we took it apart we found out the main shaft that came in from the engine, all the splines were broke off 😂 yup that'll do er easy fix and still going good after an engine rebuild

If you have a stuck Allen socket screw that you need to get out, use a Torx driver to get it out. Use whatever Torx driver fits the tightest. This works so well that I never use the Allen head driver in any socket head screws anymore, I only use a Torx driver in those screws whether they are stuck or not. Stuck Allen head drivers almost always round out the fasteners, but the Torx drivers never do if they fit even somewhat tightly.

Enjoy your videos, waiting for the next video. 🙂

This repair reminds me of the old song "there's a hole in the bucket dear Lisa dear Lisa, there's a hole in the bucket, ahol then fix it dear Henry, dear Henry, fix it."

I would have done it the same, and I’m not gonna be that guy but blowing all that asbestos out of the filter made me pause. You’re probably gonna hear about it. Lol

Thank You for the circuit diagram. It is interesting how electronics are so much like "plumbing" or rather Hydraulic Systems. I don't understand either. 😂Really, though. That diagram I can understand. It really is just a matter of "wrapping" your head around it. It is a loop. (Just don't get your head too close). 🙂 Love Your Work and Machines. You will be getting a plaque in the mail.

The old Allis runs pretty good and seems it will serve your purpose well. Hope ya find the keys. 👍😒🤞

This guy's underrated

Love LBG Uni. and professor lectures. When do schedule the exam calendar ?

Congratulations! Apple just showed its forth commercial during this video...I'm only at 16 minutes. Apple & KZfaq know this is a good channel.

Haha!!! I loved the drawing on the diagram!!!!

Since that's an outside truck..it wouldn't hurt to lubricate your lift chains with 90w gear oil..no grease ..too heavy..wouldn't soak through ..also 90w on mast channels..helps rollers to stay rolling .. Good luck..

I completely understand why the high and low lever was disconnected because it's frozen together with the forward-back lever but I would suggest trying to switch it manually to see if the other range might work better

@21:50 We LOVE Mr. Forky! 🍴🛻

At least you were true to your channel's name in this repair. The big question is what it would cost to fully repair the transmission compair to buying a replacement fork lift.

Good TSing technique

Little bit of maintanence saves alot of time and money. Personally i would have replaced the oilfilter and taken the pressure reducer cylinder/brake line open and made sure it moves as it should. Yeahyeah looking at the lack of lubricant where it needs to be, and excess where it doesnt, i see that youre the type that has more important stuff to do. But thats all the more reason to use bit of time now to make everything work as it should, rather than using tenfold the time and resources diagnosing and botching a dodgy "fix", that may itself become more severe problem later on.

Justin for the "low Buck" win!! Lol

Great video

looks like you're having a good tine!

I would put in some Lucas stop leak and conditioner to the transmission it could be gunky inside and Lucas did work on a slipping turbo 350 and worked through the snow plowing (used as a backup and manually shifted

It would be worth trying to set your main pump pressure .The pump can only build pressure to what your relief is set at, if the relief is off, which does happen, either through wear or junk getting into them, even a new pump won't be able to build pressure

"Clearly, this is how these tools should be used..." Maybe the problem was that you needed a 'Metric Hammer' as well..? :)

Had to restart the video because I couldn't stop watching the drum wind mill!! What is that??? Love the channel!

hell yeah new video

Works for me.

Custom Allen! Love it. Time to throw in some thicker sae60 motor oil.

Hey I liked the white board explanation .Why are the allen keys you need to get out always the striped ones ?

I would replace all that oil with a heavier grade, but thats me.

Hope you didn't spend too much! EDIT: You won!

I find myself wondering if a new cartridge filter would improve it even further. It couldn't hurt anyway, and shouldn't cost too much.

Try some Lucas transmission fix. The stuff is amazing.

On thing that might be worth a try, if it takes AW32 oil, try thicker oil like AW68 or AW100. Thicker oil, more pressure.

Take your Allen wench to the bench grinder and grind off 1/4” . This gives you new edges to work with.

If you want more pressure, screw the relief valves in.

What's the drum windmill used for? Another great vid. Thanks!

The pressure your gauges will show will ony be as high as the fluid need to be to do its work. put the machine somewhere against something and watch the gauges, it should go higher if working properly

Well change the spin on filter mr Frugal!

@16:23 That was why metric was invented, silly goose. 😆

👍

Apparently your forklift was designed by engineers from Packard.....also a worn out inching valve could cause the low pressure issue it did on Clark lifts when I worked on those.

@16:41 That has been used in aviation for decades. It is called "Tallen". (Get it? 😉). 🦅

🤠

Onward!

I'd fit a new filter still may be restrictive and its also the cheapest part

with out the proper pressure you just burning up the clutches . not enough clamping pressure on clutches

Blue jeans are a decent poor boy 20micron filter, when I am working on old junk like that, I will catch all the hydraulic fluid, pour it through a couple layers of blue jeans, I like the lower legs, I seem to wear my jeans out in the knees and the pockets first, so the lower legs are practically new. Then I'll reuse the fluid if there's not a compelling reason not to. Is it the best method, no, is filtering the fluid to 20micron way better than just leaving it and hoping everything is okay? Sure it is! Lol.

Always remember, a wise man once said, ''It's only temporary, unless it works.''

If the little filter was clogged, what makes you think the big filter isn't also? Ron W4BIN

Fixed

It appears from the attempt to travel fast , that the trans is running in hi mode? I think trying to change the ratio into low may yield a satisfying result.

I would bet some of the clutch material is blocking an office in one or all of the valves.

😎👍🇺🇸

Dump a gallon of Lucas oil treatment in it, thicken it up a bit

Whats the La Forza in background about?

Almost got a little disappointed here... for a moment there I saw a 3 hour video infront of me you tearing that transmission/axle apart. That would have been great! But maybe not as great for you...🤔 ha ha.

Unfortunately, engineers have not been standardized. Sometimes renegades sneak through and are able to put their designs into production without any viable oversight.

A successful project so you can work on other projects! What’s not to love?

Why do I see no oil ??

That transmissions done unfortunately. I'm a forklift tech, and if we have a sluggish drive fault and the filter screen looks like that it's the end of the diagnosis. All that 'gunk' is the clutch packs. If the thing kind of drives and you don't want to rebuild it - DO NOT CHANGE THE FLUID! It always makes it worse, not better.

Are ya still kickin chicken?, what's taking so long to post a video?, are you putting in a perm or what?,😄, hurry every chance ya get!👍

22:27 YEEET 🤣😂 But hey, if it works, it works. Way I see it, if you've got to split the trans from the engine to get at that pump anyway, you might as well have the whole trans gone through while it's off. Since it will still get the job done it is asked to do, no sense fuckin' with it. Save the pump replacement for when the trans totally fails. Call me wierd, but to me, that thing has earned a new transmission anyway, so if it were my machine I'd start squirreling away money, parts, preparing to do a trans in it while it still runs.

It's probably one of the reasons why Minneapolis Moline is no longer around because of design snafow's like that

16:09 from there you'll find out why I fucking hate Allen and Torx type fixings.

Change the other FILTER.

You need a electric funnel cleaner, only $99

You would think it would be easier to remove the engine.

Why can’t we call it mr forky

Still could be worse
