Gentlemen:
I am a novice as compared to all of the experienced persons posting the history related to Caterpillar and I have read these with great interest. As my favorite term "Towmotor" was mentioned I thought I might explain what I am trying to do with an older model Towmotor.
I am in the process of restoring it for personal use here on our farm.
The Model is of the 601P Series and has the somewhat unusual "ToMoTorque" Transmission.
My reason for telling all of this is I hoped that some of the older Gentlemem here might be familiar with this treasured old Forklift and be able to tell me if there is anywhere they might know of where I might locate a copy of a Factory Service Manual. I was able to locate a manual n the Transmission and a very complete Parts Manual from "MCF", but have been told there at one time was a General Service Manual published. MCF said they are out of print and my best chance of finding one (even one that I might photocopy), would be from the library of a shop or mechanic that might have saved one from years ago?
I appreciate hearing from anyone having any "leads", to send me an email at: [email address removed]
Thank you very much for any help any one can offer.
