Make certain the filter element you buy has a 10 micron filter rating vs a 25 or 40 micron rating. The main reason is to extend the life of the Tyrone hydraulic pump. The 10 micron filter filter out smaller particales but cost a bit more but less than a a pump.

Thanks for the information the year is great to know, as I suspected they had batery post wrong, as for the filter turns out to be a Wix 51760 but one end is block the one that I have is open at both ends, set up looks original who knows after 40yrs. The one you could get me is it open both ends 7 1/8" long x 3" dia. x 1" hole both ends as the bolt holding the filter body goes all the way throught. PS someone else had the same problem years ago on another site yesterdays tractors "wwwtractorshed.com " Allis

Your forklift truck was made in 1968. It should be negative ground. The part # for the hydraulic filter is 4906096. If you can't find one I can get it for you.

Thanks for the information on year of machine, as for the filter tried a few auto stores and hydrolic stores no match found in Napa, Wix, Fram, Fleetguard catalogues. Found a place on internet that sells books on C. D. and another reprints so maybe when they arrive I will have A.C. # and could be in business. Bob

If that truck has a "Positive" ground, I am thinking late 50's Some forklifts--farm/industrial tractors--cars and trucks--used that set up.
Unless you find a manual at a yard sale or someone who worked on that old of machine, finding literature might be a challenge. I have seen old manuals on web sites like ebay
Wix filter books have section in back that has pictures and a section with measurements to give a part number, take filter to a NAPA store or a WIX filter dealer, they can get one that will work.

Fact of the week
Foundling hatches are safe, anonymous drop-off points for unwanted infants, allowing parents in crisis a way to surrender a baby safely without fear of punishment, ensuring the child is rescued and cared for. The concept started in the 12th century, was abandoned in the late 19th century, then reintroduced in 1952. It has since been adopted in many countries.
