Hi there
Ive just got myself a toyota forklift, she is very old but engine is all good. She has a 6 cylinder and can lift 3.5t. One problem when the engine is in idle the hydraulics dont work. You have to rev the engine a fair amount for the steering to work or move the forks. Is this a hydraulic pump issue. It has been sat without use for 2 years so my first plan of attack it to clean it all up and do an oil change.

Their personal animosity and business rivalry divided their German hometown Herzogenaurach. The town became known as "the town of bent necks" due to the intense loyalty to each brand.
