Discussion:
No steer or move

1967 Propane model; starts great and mast tilts and elevates. But no steering or driving forward or reverse. I removed a small metal line from an electrical solenoid at the top front left side of the valve body and only get oil to shoot out once in a while. My dipstick in the tank says full. I get a clicking when I run power to that solenoid. I hate to remove the valve body then have trouble finding new gaskets..I was going to try more hydraulic oil. What weight does it take? I already googled it...believe me..

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
