This tractor has no brakes.

This forklift has been a 3rd arm for over 30 years. It had a broken hydraulic line that takes almost 4 hours to replace. As a rental unit for 10 years, it owes me nothing. But keeping brake fluid in it became an issue. It had one purpose here at home, to load the 1500lb tool box on the work truck. All of these last years the hand parking brake and forward/reverse were the motion control.

It will net $800 as scrap, but in the neighborhood of $4,500 with brakes.

Today it is blocked up to receive new wheel brake cylinders.

It will also receive new parking brake shoes.

The Clark should be ready for a new home end of next week.

After replacing the brake master cylinder last night, all that remains to complete are 3 oil changes. The transmission, hydraulic, and engine oil. That is a project for next week.
