Discussion:
No forward or reverse

Hi
I have an old Clark GPM 17 serial no M265-2032-GEF 7455 that has lost traction. The customer said he was going in reverse and braked then selected forward and then nothing. When I arrived on site I checked the Inching pedal linkage, and the adjusting rod came off. Also the inching pedal did go back up and I reattached the rod and tried the truck jacked up. After applying power the wheel moved slowly, I changed the direction lever but the wheel carried on going in the same direction. Has anybody experienced anything like this, or have any suggestions that may help?

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.
