    Problem with VC60D no movement

    I have no idea what the issue was. I checked the movement status every day for 3 days, and all the sudden it is working again. Something electrical for sure.

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    My lifttruck all the sudden will not go in reverse or forward. I think it is electrical or maybe that inching petal. I removed the fuse cover on the steering cover and all the fuses appear fine. I checked the electrical connectors for being tight and no corrosion. there is plenty of oil...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    Well, I want to update this and see if I can get some help in the tuning the propane carb. I have now changed the VFF and regulator. I also changed the diaphragm in the carb. It has gotten a little better on the power. It will now at least pull itself up the very small incline I have going...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    Ok, I can now answer most of my own questions so there is at least a reference place for someone else in the future. The most important question was " Where is the transmission dipstick on a VC60D with the serial number 2MC0.. Not 2MC1. 2MC0 transmissions do not have a dipstick on the...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    Your are going to think this is a dumb question, but .... I see where to drain the transmission at the bottom is a nice big drain plug. However, what I cannot find is where to put the oil back in the transmission. When I was talking to Darr today, they indicated there is a dip stick for the...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    I have just changed the 3 oil filters I have found on this machine. Problem is, I cannot figure out were the oil reservoir is for one of the filters. The attached picture is the filter in question. What is it filtering? Diff oil? The oil that came out of that filter is very black and seems...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    Wow.. that is not great news. However, it helps in my expectations of what is normal vs what is wore out. I wonder how much HP and torque the transmission can take on this lift truck. I have the service manual today now. However, there are no indications of HP and torque ratings on the 4...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    Ok, I wanted to get an opinion about this air horn. it is a CA125 carb or mixer.. whatever you call it. the air horn as a strange spray pattern across it. It originates from the propane injection hole straight across the air horn as you can see. the color is what is strange to me. I know...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    thank you for all the insight. I have already tonight purchased a new regulator and VFF.. When I cold start the forklift, the thing is quite as a mouse in the hydraulics. The engine is the only thing you can hear running. After about 5 minutes of run time, and a few up and downs on the lift...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    I have a Model J and VFF30 ... The fuel seemed like an issue too. The engine will not make RPM's when it starts on the big load factor. I was thinking that if I could just get 500 more RPM out of the engine, it might pull itself better. So, do I take this VFF30 apart and clean it? Well, the...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    My thoughts are the engine. I just wanted to make sure those that have worked with hydro transmissions did not think maybe it was a pump issue. It engages to forward and reverse fine on flat concrete floor. I can hard left and right the steering to swing the tail end around no problem. It is...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    Thank you so much for the insight. I worked on the railroad for 10 years as a dirt operator, but that was 30 years ago.. I cannot remember much about the feel on the trans or engine issues we had. We had union mechs that had to do the service work, but I jumped in there when I could on cartridge...

    Problem with Cat VC60D forklift

    I have purchased a 1992 Cat VC60D with the Peugeot 4 cylinder engine. It is running on LPG. The forklift just has no drive power. The hour meter shows 11900 .. maybe that = wore out most likely. What I want to get is recommendations on what is wore out based on these symptoms. The...
