First of all I apologize if this is posted in the wrong category. My forklift is a Towmotor T40 which I believe was manufactured in the late 60's and the company became Caterpillar in the 70's? Anyway the brakes have gone out on this unit and I have no idea where to look for parts. The brake reservoir is full but still no brakes. I have not pulled the wheels. Is it likely the brake cylinder or the actual brakes themselves. Any input appreciated. Thanks,

Shane

Fact of the week
The black box flight recorder was invented by Australian scientist David Warren in the mid-1950s. While initially met with indifference in Australia, his invention gained international recognition, particularly in the UK, and is now a mandatory piece of safety equipment on all commercial aircraft.
