I have a 1993 Cat forklift. It has a leaky hydraulic hose that leaves a puddle when parked for a while. Recently the brakes quit working pretty much all at once. I am mechanical however have never worked on forklifts. Are the brakes a separate fluid system from the hydraulics like on a car? I assume they are but why did the brakes fail? I have seen no sign of brake fluid leaking and have had trouble locating a master cylinder. Thanks in advance for any help.

Fact of the week
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.
