fixing a forklift

This week I did a bunch of work to our quite large Case forklift.  I replaced one of the side shift hydraulic hose, the rear seal in the transmission, and I also had to rebuild the entire park brake assembly.  One of the employees decided to drive around for a few hours with it on so it wore out the brake pads.  I also replaced the parking brake cable because the old one would stick sometimes.  I also learned that on a stationary piece of equipment like the Boxx's large air diesel air compressor there is a button you press that bypasses the oil pressure sensor to allow the motor to start.  I didn't know that and its a handy lesson for the future.

55 hours this week  gotta love farm hours:)
135 hours total

  1. Oh yea, the old oil pressure bypass trick. Didn't I tell you that one? (Probably not)

    If I stop by the retail stand will they know where you are should I happen to come by?
