Showing items 1 - 6 of 6 results.
ok that spirax fluid is what they use now that covers most of the old type fluids

as for the 8' forks?
unless you can find someone that has a decent used pair for sale
calling kenhar cascade might be and idea
8' forks would be a special order type fork in most cases

That doesnt look like a hyster serial number or this truck is very old (late 70's model?)
If thats the case the fluid would be either 10w or mercon more than likely.

I havnt dealt with a truck that old in a long time and i dont have information handy on anything that old.
maybe someone else here might

Sorry

a truck serial number would be helpful

in the older trucks
hydraulic oil used was SAE 10W API CC/SE
All it says for transmission fluid is use hyster part number 336831

if the fluid is clear then i would use the hyster part number.
if the fluid is red then it is probably dextron fluid so dextron III would work in it.
