    Clark CY20B Transaxle Leak

    I’ve got a 1971 Clark CY20B leaking transmission fluid out of the axle housing. There appears to be weep holes or casting holes at the bottom of the axle housing which is where the fluid is coming out (see pic). I’ve never been in one. I’m wondering if there are any special Clark tools or...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    I called an authorized Detroit service dealer and spoke to the parts manager. The electronic governor was developed for vocational trucks. It's a Detroit item and is obsolete. They are programmed to hold certain RPM or to govern speed. He indicated that the programming may not be one size fits...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    Good question. I didn't see an E-stop...checked bucket controls, ground controls, and cab. At any rate, there's only two wires going into the governor: key on 12v and a ground. I'm getting voltage and ground, so I don't think anything is interfering between the key switch and the governor. I...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    Is it worth me fixing? No. Is it worth a buyer fixing? Maybe. It's gonna take a governor...or at least a circuit board, and I called around and was told it's probably obsolete. A re-man mechanical governor (which may or may not work right with the bucket equipment) is about $800. So at a minimum...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    I reckon it's solved. So given the way it works it obviously *has to* move the racks with either key-on or engine movement which it does not. So I went to test the outputs on the circuit board and it put me in mind of a CDI and how it can arc internally (if you've ever had one apart, it's...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    Ok, racks free. Done. All I'm asking (that hasn't been answered) is should there be key-on noise/movement from the electronic governor like the mechanical one? If so, that's the damn problem.

    Is it electronic governor or mechanical?

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    It's not even trying to move that I can see. Just to be sure, I unhooked the rods so they wouldn't interfere with the governor and spun the engine over. Still no movement from the governor.

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    I was running out of daylight yesterday, so instead of pulling valve covers I unhooked the rods at the governor to manually move the racks. The driver side moves and is spring loaded in both directions. The passenger side only moves and springs in one direction, so it's possibly stuck. In...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    ...and I've been to most of those links. Haven't found much useful. The only one exactly like mine (pics from a google image search) are from a post on truckmechanictips.com and there are no replies to his post.

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    I'm an expert at encountering weird crap that no one has seen before. It's a finely honed skill that took years to develop. :( Anyway, I wonder if it was a factory option, because it all looks totally factory with the engine and harness. There is a high idle knob but it is attached directly to...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    JPV, you mention a stuck injector rack...is that prone to happen after setting a long period of time? The rods controlling the injector rack are on a mechanism under the mother board shown in the pic. Should I be able to manually push these rods? If so, one or both are stuck but I don't know if...

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    I reckon nobody's probably dealt with one these in years. Anybody know a forum where some old timers might hang out?

    8.2L Detroit No Start

    I'm working on an old tree service truck for an estate, 1987 Chevy 7000 with an 8.2. Was running when parked several years ago. Starts and runs easily with ether or gas rag, but won't run on its own. It has the newer style electronic governor with no visible shut off solenoid. I think it's...

    austin western vin decode?

    I've hauled my 99H, which is the four wheel model, on a 30' gooseneck similar to the one shown except tandem axle. The trailer deck is 3' high. I've loaded it backward and forward, and with the blade in its highest position it does not rub. The first time I hauled it I wasn't sure if it was...

    My Allis-Chalmers Forklift Project

    Yeah, on an LP machine a clogged hose will cause the the LP components to freeze up. There should be visible frost or ice on the components. If it is a gasoline engine, check the fuel tank vent. If the vent is stopped, it will also act as described.

    Caterpillar B10 Engine Identification

    I'm working on a 70's era Cat B10. It appears to have an IH 6-cylinder OHV gasoline engine. I can't seem to locate a data plate. By chance, does anyone know what model IH engine was used in these and where I may be able to get rebuild parts? Thanks

    My Allis-Chalmers Forklift Project

    My manual doesn't specify on the fluid, just says to use a good quality hydraulic oil. I guess it depends on operating temps and such. I think I'm running 32 in mine and it works fine. If you have any leaks you may want to try something a little thicker.

    My Allis-Chalmers Forklift Project

    Thanks for the comments. I love to bring old machines back to life. I used to like cars and motorcycles and such, and I still work with those too, but I really like restoring old equipment. Anyone else have any A-C forklifts? Post some pics!
