Good Morning,

I am working on a Komatsu as stated above. When brought into the shop it would not pull in forward when cold, but after a few minutes of "warming up" it would pull very well. We checked the transmission pressures and were getting a 30-40 PSI fluctuation at idle. So we removed the Valve body and found the the main pump spool damaged. We replaced the valve body and it cured the light on the dash. BUT the forklift still does not pull at all when cold. Any ideas?

According to studies published in the English Journal of Medicine, the impact of daylight savings is revealed by a 24% increase in heart attacks on the Monday following the spring shift forward. When clocks move back in autumn, heart attacks drop by about 21%, suggesting that loss of sleep is an important driver.
