Thanks for the information. I will take it under consideration. However, I had never used a fork lift 3 months ago when I got here, and the two we have had not been functional for many years. In those three months, I have figured out how to fix every aspect of both of them, ( hydraulics, engines, carbs, radiators, fuel tanks, and almost everything you can imagine that can be wrong with old lifts like these) except for this one's brakes. I fixed the inching pedal on this one and the the brakes ran well for a while. Then for some unknown reason they locked up. When I disassembled the brake master cylinder for the second time I saw nothing that was out of place. Therefore, I am asking for any insight into the working of this particular system. When I say I am new to this, I mean fork lifts only. We disassemble and repair planesm, among other tasks, here in our shop. The inching pedal works great and so does the parking brake. So at no point am I in danger of not being able to stop the lift. I would just like to get all of it running properly to fully complete the task I started. We have jacks that are more than capable of lifting the truck and if I need to get inside the axle, I will do that as well. It's never too late to learn something new, and all obstacles can be overcome with persistence and determination. With helpful tips from you guys I have been able to do so much already. But rest assured, anything I do will be done in a safe and controlled manner. Thanks again
