    Excellent! Thank you for the information. I will look to see if my cylinders have that bleeder screw. Michael

    Uh oh! Blown Head Gasket?

    Man, I'd be lucky to get even 50 hours a year on this machine. Yes, I use it, but it comes in spurts. I might use it for a couple of hours a day for a couple of days, then not touch it for 3 months. Or use it for 10-15 minutes every week or so. Just depends on what I have going on. I guess I...

    Uh oh! Blown Head Gasket?

    Good idea.. I will check into that. I think there are plenty of places you can find on the net that will do it too and eliminate some markup. And yes you are right, the cold damp air - especially in winter time - and infrequent use can result in a lot of water in the crankcase. Plus operator...

    "Bouncy" platform on Upright Tiger after hose replacement?

    I've gone up and down probably 10 times with the same result. Any other ideas on how to bleed or just keep going up and down? Is it possible I may have damaged something in the hydraulic system by lifting the platform manually with my forklift? Thanks, Michael

    "Bouncy" platform on Upright Tiger after hose replacement?

    So this is kind of messing with my head a bit.. I have an old Upright Tiger scissor lift. I blew a hydraulic hose to one of the lift cylinders yesterday. So I lifted the platform with my forklift so I could access the hose fitting at the cylinder and had a new hose made. I put the new hose...

    Uh oh! Blown Head Gasket?

    Good plan, I will do that.. I have also read that if a propane powered truck is not run long enough to heat up, then water vapor from the combustion process will not have a chance to burn off. I am guilty as charged here as I have a tendency to use the lift for the 5 or 10 minutes I need it for...

    Uh oh! Blown Head Gasket?

    Errr.. I meant to say the truck has been converted to propane. Sorry about that.

    Uh oh! Blown Head Gasket?

    Hi everyone! So after 2 years of owning my Clark C500S60, I've finally gotten to the point where I am starting to use it quite often. I checked the oil the other day and it's gray. So then I checked the coolant and it's low. :( If I let the truck sit for a day and check the oil, then...

    Hi RJ. If you send via PM i will not be able to read it as I cannot access PMs. I suspect this is because my post count is too low. :(

    Clark C500-S60 Questions

    Hello TD24, I am unable to respond to your PM. Maybe because I don't have enough posts. No idea. I also have no idea why my subscription to this topic didn't send me an email when it got replied to. But thank you for your PM, because I got *that* notification. :) Thank you for your post...

    Clark C500-S60 Questions

    Hi Everyone! New forum member here. I just picked up a Clark C500S60 to replace/augment my ancient 1942 Towmotor. Yes, 1942! The data plate says this is a type "G." It is running on LPG. This thing is like a cadillac compared to the old Towmotor! Power steering, side shift, smaller...
