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

Funerals in Spain typically occur within 24 to 48 hours of death, whereas in other European countries they wait one or more weeks. This rapid timeframe is a cultural norm grown from the past need to manage the warm climate without modern embalming.
