I feel your pain powerlifter- trying to service a unit with no parts back up is an excersize in frustration. The only solution I know of in situations like this is to start cross refrencing parts (if that's even possible with a Chineese forklift I don't know).

As for oldforker- my problem with Chineese stuff is that with my experience, it all s***s. Between not having parts/service back up & inferior workmanship I can't say I've found much good to say about anything built there.

Trust me when I say I'd welcome a good, basic forklift that was well built & reliable with parts/service availability. So far it seems that our industry is shying away from such thinking, choosing to peddle expensive & complicated machines that require expensive/unuptainable (for the independent service guys) service equipment.
