Jplayer- didn't you know- all forklifts are the same! Doesn't matter the year, model, make- after all- it's just a lift.

Sorry- couldn't help myself. It does get frustrating trying to help when multiple problems are thrown in the mix.

don't you just love it when one guys starts a post and another jumps in and throws another problem in the mix with his truck
gee it can confuse someone really quick
my suggestion is to create your own thread about YOUR problem and not create confusing comments that may throw others off track.

now as for eugene's problem, usually when these trucks start loosing brakefluid and you cannot find the leak its the inching valve on the valve on the transmission. At will have its own dedicated brakeline off the regular brake system.

As for finding this part? like what was said, ANY forklift company can get you one, they are available OEM and aftermarket as well.

pull the drums and check for leaking wheel cylinders, if they are leaking slowly enough, the brake shoes are absorbing the fluid before it can actually leak out

Could you tell me where the bleeder valve for the brakes are? I have very little brakes. Thanks for your help.

A Clark dealer or any forklift dealer/repair should have no problems getting parts for these machines.

did you fill both master cylinders? did you bleed the air out? is the spool stuck in the master cylinder? when you say "no brakes" are you meaning both pedals go to the floor, or do you mean you have good pedal but nothing stopping the wheel from turning?

CLARK C 500/30. Filled with brake fluid. Still no brakes... Any recommendations?

Hi to all,
I am having trouble finding parts for this older unit, where would be the best place to go? Also where would I get a service and parts manual?
Thanks again!
Eugene

Thanks for the help Truck Tech!

Replace the inching valve assembly,replace the Transmision fluid with Dex. II ,and install a new filter.
