Reverse Problem

I recently purchased a 190 hyster from a local lumber yard to use at my farm/sawmill. It is a 2004 with 16000hrs and it has a perkins motor in it. The lift will go into foward and operate fine but once you shift to reverese it will engage but not move at all. To further coplicate things the lift has trouble starting but once its running it will run fine. Once you cut it off and come back in 10 mins or so it has truble restarting. I shure hope this is not complicated and i hope there is someone out there who might shed some light on the path to fixin it. thanks
