Hello all.

This is my first post so I hope this is the correct section.

I recently purchased a Baker FMD 040 from a local company that was destined for scrap and it has a couple of issues I was hoping to repair.

I have contacted Linde for a repair manual and a parts manual with no success so I was hoping maybe someone on here may know of a place to check.

The closest thing I came across was a pdf for a military unit on line and it wasn't for an FMD 040.

The chassis tag as far as I know reads;

Model # FMD 040

Serial# T1935-147

The unit lifts, tilts, goes forward, backwards, stops (after adding fluid to master cylinder) and turns (with a bit of effort).

One of the issues is the power steering works good if you're lifting or tilting but goes back to (Armstrong) manual steering if not using either one.

Also I would like to get to the wheel cylinders and prefer not to ruin anything else in the process.

Sorry for the long winded post. Simply trying to give some info.

Thanks, Russ

The word "robotics" was coined by Russian-born American science-fiction writer Isaac Asimov who first used the word in 1942 in his short story 'Runabout'. He characterised robots as helpful servants and as "a better, cleaner race."
