Discussion:
Rattle in neutral

Hey there,

New to me forklift, 1975 C500 Y80.

Runs good, works good. The question I have, is there is a (fairly loud sometimes) rattle when in neutral. Worse when cold, or if the engine rpm drops (picking up a load for example). Can't hear it at all in forward or rev.

Is that a normal noise for a 46 year old machine? The transmission shifts nice and smooth, and works well.



Thanks.
