Good morning Great videos I just purchased a 1978 yale 3000 pound lift capacity forklift all new to me. I checked the fluids. The oil in the transmission. Fluids were very milky. I replaced the oil and filter just had a question about the location of the drain plug for the transmission fluid. I believe it’s between the forks underneath the transmission. It looks like it’s an Allen head screw and also the location of the fill plug I believe its on top of the I transmission under the floorboards, just trying to verify that thank you for your time

The fill plug should be under the floor. its removable and should get you a better view as to where the hydraulic pumps/tank vs transmission and engine are. The drain plug should be on the bottom of the pan. Be careful getting underneath these heavy beasts!

Thank you for the input one more question I seen your video working on your distributor cap so when I start my Hilo it starts up and then it stalls out. It doesn’t pry four or five times and every start up unless I keep my foot on the pedal to keep the RPMs up, I have been adjusting my idle, but I don’t want to keep it too high I did change my spark plugs. I did look through my distributor cap and rotor. Hit it with some super fine sandpaper to clean everything up. Would it be worth it to go ahead and buy distributor cap rotor and wire or was cleaning that up be fine I think this hilo sat for a while that’s why the oil and transmission fluid was milky. I’m not sure what the condensation would do that distributor cap and rotor. That’s why I was reaching out to you. Thanks advance.

I would absolutely replace the cap/rotor/coil/condenser. Mine had the same problem, would constantly flood and not start unless you had absolutely fresh gas and a full battery. Now it can sit for a year or more and be started with ease.

WVE 1V1088 was the one I ended up using from Rock auto. Not saying its the correct one as I'm still having some grounding issues with that unit but it does work and charge when running which is more than the old one was doing. hope that helps

Hey! I have the same forklift, I bought it second hand and don't know nothing about it. Could You Say me wicht year was manufactured yours? Thanks
@hcr-motorworks3 жыл бұрын
I wish I knew. Most of the data plates are worn to the point where they are unreadable. Most of the engine parts I've gotten for it though are from a late 70's and early 80's mazda truck. You'll just have to do some digging to find out what engine and parts interchange will work for your application.

do you have any wires going to the alternator lug terminal? if so how many?
@hcr-motorworks3 жыл бұрын
one lug and one four prong plastic clip. If your having charging problems its most likely the external voltage regulator though or a fuse under the dash area.

Mine is a Mazda UA engine, but you'll have to check the model and serial number on your machine to be sure as these forklifts had multiple manufacturers supply various powerplants through the years

sadly in today's world that seems to be the going consensus with most things. If its broke chunk it in the dump and buy a new one. I prefer to fix things if possible :) Thanks for watching!
