I believe it's a Baker, from before the Linde purchase, but it does seem to be metric bolts. It's blue (really, and it looks like factory paint), with white tires. I think they called it a creamery truck. I don't see any I.D. on the control, but it's an open plate design.

The first problem was that it wouldn't move at all. I found that the limit switches at the top of the steer wheel were miswired. I got it to actually move now, but there is still something else wrong. There are 2 sets of F/R contactors, if the set on the left are not pulled in, the truck won't move. No SCR hum, yet the right side contactors operate as the F/R control is operated. I'm not sure if the 4 power wires going to each drive motor are for a split winding control, or the contactor sets independently control the motors. I really didn't want to have to disconnect everything to track the wires back.

The second problem I'm still left with is that the pump motor runs constanly. I checked the switches at the lift levers and they are working. I traced the wires back to the same card that controls the power steering pump, but I'm not sure if there are other inputs for this circuit that may override the switches.

Thanks for any help,
Ken
