As the Rental Manager for a large forklift dealer in Australia, I take my hat off to you mate for your diligence and systematic approach to trouble shooting your way through, as some of the other commenters have stated. TVH will be your best bet for parts. These Toyotas albeit an older model are still very serviceable and easy enough to source parts for, if you rebuild that trans and look after it, it’ll damn near go forever. These older basic machines are bloody robust and nice and relatively easy to work on. Well done fella !!!

[@BustedBeaters]

Thank! That means a lot! I was very surprised to see how simple these machines are! I have been ordering a bunch of parts from TVH, so thanks for the suggestion! Everyone seems to love these old Toyotas! I'm hoping to get a lot of hours out of it! I have a new appreciation for all the techs out there working on these machines!

[@tonytidmas449]

I’m been a forklift mechanic in Australia for 15years yeah sure I knew a few quicker ways to sort your job. But I thoroughly enjoyed watching this. You have an exceptional brain for tackling problems like this.

[@BustedBeaters]

Appreciate it! I would do things a little differently if I had to do it again. But that's how you learn!

[@markstarks]

I build transmissions on the side. When a transmission has been subjected to water, the paper friction material will break down or delaminate from the plate. When gaskets are very brittle and hard to remover with a scraper, that is evidence one has been extremely hot. Great work. Good video.

[@BustedBeaters]

Oh awesome! Appreciate the info! I think it's safe to say the water delaminated the plates

[@jackrichards1863]

Well you had it worked out in theory really well. Yes the piston came so far it tipped and jammed. Every fibre disc destroyed. You must clean every hole out in the transaxle. When putting it all together. I do this type of work myself but never a forklift. I learned at your cost today. Thank you for sharing this experience. I have complete respect for your study and analysis of the machine. Impressed with that hoist too. We can see it flexing. Great effort you put in here. Well done man.

[@BustedBeaters]

Thank you! I'm glad you were able to learn from the video! So far it's been a fun project to diagnose and figure out. The hoist did a great job! Pushed it to it's limits.

[@brunolamote]

I think water got adsorbed in the friction material then the heat of the spinning disks expanded the water into steam. And let part of the material lose from the disks that travels around in the assembly until it gets stuck on one half of the disks. So you have one thicker side and a thinner side. This could also wedge the pressure plate. Water would be the main culprit.

[@realcarbonking]

Love the vid, perfect timing on each scene. A lot of new youtubers put too much filler bs in but this was the sweet spot imo.

[@grumpysgararge5860]

Parts for that forklift can be found thru any equipment rental yard or forklift dealer via a company called TVH. It should have all the aftermarket parts for your forklift. Also the hose that you shortened at the beginning of the video has failed, it is soaked with propaline ( what make propane stink), will be full of pin sized holes that cause you headaches. Replace it with heater hose…. Good Luck!

[@BustedBeaters]

This is gold! Thanks! I was able to find about 90% of the parts through a website called liftpartswarehouse.com. You're dead on, every part except for a few had packing slips with TVH on it. Appreciate the info on the hose. It seemed extremely soft when I cut it. I'll definitely get it replaced!

If you have a hoist and a trans stand you can drop them out the bottom, however how this fella managed to do it with some really rudimentary tools and diligence was outstanding.

[@mr.george-pht]

I have the same forklift. Mine is a FGC45. Which means it’s the 10k lbs capacity. Same basic Forklift. The back counterweight is 6500 lbs on mine. If you do scrap yours , I would gladly by some parts off yours. Like the seat, and some other tidbits.

Sounds good! We'll see how things go with it. If I do decide to scrap it I'll be sure to reach out

[@MyLifeThai371]

I just found a Datsun FG105 forklift in my area for $800. It is propane and runs and lifts good, but it will not move, because the pinion and ring gear in the differential are bad. It lifts 5000 lbs and it has dual tires on the front.

[@timkelley6616]

[@brandon2076]

Great job! I think you nailed the drive problem. Regarding the contamination of the transmission fluid, have you confirmed that it is indeed coolant and not water? Rain water can enter through a transmission breather vent if there is one. If there was a radiator leak, I would expect to find ATF in the cooling system vs coolant in the transmission as the transmission cooler is normally under greater pressure than the engine coolant, so if there was any leakage between them the fluid under greater pressure would flow into the fluid under less pressure, which is typically how it goes with engine oil coolers. Now, you can absolutely have coolant go into the transmission cooler through heat cycling, when the engine is off and the hot coolant maintains pressure while the transmission lines do not, but you'd see mixing on both sides at the very least. I reccomend you have the radiator and cooler pressure tested, and you can send off a sample of the ATF for analysis where glycol would be a marker. Looking forward to seeing how it plays out!

[@BustedBeaters]

Appreciate you taking the time to type all this out! I never did confirm where the water was entering the transmission. The original radiator was in pretty rough shape and I saw some corrosion on the outside that looked like it was caused by a leak. I just assumed that it would be damaged internally as well. The transmission has a breather and filter that sits right on top of the housing by the spools. It's very possible that water entered it this way. It did look like the lift was sitting outside for some time. What you're saying about the coolant and the ATF makes perfect sense to me that you would see mixing on both sides. I didn't even think about the high pressure of the ATF overcoming the pressure of the coolant. The coolant looked fine and I did not notice any oil in it. I know there was a couple of mechanics attempting to fix it before I got my hands on it and it looks like they changed out some of the fluids. So it's hard to say what they actually did to it. Appreciate all the help! I'll definitely look into having the radiator tested before putting it back in!

[@chainsawsandgenerators9952]

if/ when you get it going, plan on replacing the mast lift chains and hoses. if those chains break, bad shit happens fast. also, always try to unbolt the torque converter before splitting the transmission. by doing it the way you did puts stress on the front pump.

[@BustedBeaters]

Thanks for the info! Yeah, looking back you're 100% correct, should have unbolted the torque converter first. When I reassemble it, I'll be sure to do the opposite and bolt it once the engine is attahced to the transmission. I'll know for next time!

I've operated these Toyotas for at least a decade back in the day and have messed around with them. They are virtually bulletproof, listen to that engine purr propane makes engines last. I've never messed with the tranny but always assumed it used a hydraulic clutch as I'm constantly riding the clutch to distribute power between hydraulic power and between forward/reverse and have never burnt a physical one out, whatsoever

[@MyLifeThai371]

Yeah no kidding. "Robby Leighton" youtube channel just paid $5000 for an engine rebuild on his old Toyota forklift. He regrets it now, since most people bought a skid steer with pallet forks to replace them and now most people are replacing their the skid steers with telehandlers instead. That is why you find so many old forklifts for $800 nowadays. Time marches on.

[@BustedBeaters]

Oh yeah my dream is to get a skid steer. Used, they were significantly more than the forklifts when I was looking. May be a good project one day!

Interesting video. Manhandling that counterweight and that carriage that came down were dodgy as hell 😁 Still you get a lot done with limited means 👍 If you'd make longer video's about this content where you show more of the process (and the hardship😉), like a 1 hour video or so, I'd for sure watch that too 🙂 $400 for that forklift is a steal, especially as it looks like you can fix the transmission. I think it has sideshift too?

I'm still trying to find that happy place of keeping the videos fast paced but not leaving out too much of the details. I figured for $400 I couldn't go too wrong! You're correct. The lift has sideshift as well. It'll be extremely useful if I can get this thing running!

I've never used Evaporust before. Does it do a good job?

[@littlewingpsc27]

@BustedBeaters yes. It does a very good job. You can pour it in a bucket and soak the part for some time and it will remove the rust. It can be reused multiple times as well.

​@@BustedBeaters I agree, it works very well and you can reuse it. I use it often, it's not a harsh chemical. You can submerge a pair of rusty pliers in it with polymer grips and it will not dissolve the polymer. It's available at Harbor Freight and the cost is reasonable.

Have you tried changing the fluid? On my 06 Impala with 200k miles on it, I changed the fluid from a dark brown and it never had issues after that.

@@Jman116Films Tried changing the fluid. same results, Apparently there's a transmission filter but I cannot find it anywhere, The towmotor also has 15K hours on it, It also slips bad when its cold. You really gotta rev it to get it to go.

This is interesting. Not sure how much a transmission would cost for your machine. I ended up getting the parts from a company called Joseph Industries out of Ohio. You could always give them a call and see what the cost would be. They were nice to deal with in my experience. Your steering column must sit above the transmission. I'm not sure why you wouldn't be able to remove the engine and transmission separately. There must be a good reason though!

Rebuild that thing, some new clutch discs and piston seals, clean up the rust, make sure the steel reaction discs are not coned too much or just replace them, she will run forever

[@lawrenceengel3330]

That is a heck of a job 👌

Appreciate the sub!

[@darkshadowsx5949]

i've rebuilt the transmission in my ford fusion before. the forward piston seal broke. its always worth going through he whole thing and replace anything worn. if i just replaced the pistons i wouldn't of seen that my overdrive clutch was burnt. i hope you were more thorough with the forklift transmission than just the forward & reverse clutch pack.

[@BustedBeaters]

Oh yeah! Full transmission rebuild! Replaced just about all the wear items

[@Vatnehol]
