My questions are the following:

A. Hydraulic system/fluid tank?
B. Transmission/automatic?
C. Engine?

3. What is the make of motor in my TC30?

7. Where can I get a new/rebuilt starter motor for my TC30?

Going online, I cannot find any of the above information for the TC30 and there is very little reference to the TC30.

Thanks Forum Members. Hope that you can help me out and point me in the right direction.

Hello. I have the above Caterpillar TC30 and I am having problems with the starter grinding and kicking out and not turning the motor over. Sometimes it will engage correctly but most of the time it just grinds against the ring gear. I have to try several times before it will engage. I am afraid one day it will not engage at all. The person from whom I bought the forklift said that the starter motor was changed but the problem persisted.

Does anyone know what the problem might be and the solution to the problem?
