    M10A International Harvester Rough Terrain Forklift

    I've got 3 of them and I love them! NEVER will I be without at least ONE. All so far (since 3years) work reliabily and problem free. Just a few minor issues like finding (reasonable priced) O-ring seals for the side shift cylinder etc. But ANY big MV Fan/collector with several...

    Cat 7155 Transmission ---Need help diagnosing problem with leaking air at Xsnm shifter control Assby block

    Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I"ll get right on it....This seems like a very good idea and a logical method to see if it is possibly a stuck (ie. not closed poppet valve); or if the oil then allows the poppet to close--stopping or greatly reducing the air leak but with the added air tool oil...

    Question/looking for help with the Inj. Pump Hydraulic Head.

    I have a bad Hyd. Head on my M35A2 with the LDT-465-1C Turbo eng. I have an old serviceable Hydra. Head from a multi-fuel 5 Ton eng. (The LDS-465-1A). Will it work on the duce turbo eng. / Inj. Pump ? I assume it feeds more fuel to the engine (due to the higher HP of the 5 Ton eng) but it...
