Thanks, I'm familiar with that link as I've gotten a ton of free military electronic manuals there in the past. But, NO, they don't have anything that will help me today.

Reposted here for future search Carl: Thanks again. Today I pulled out all of the contacts. They are solid Silver and replaceable. They were not that bad, so I reground them to the original slight arc and polished all 8 and that made a huge difference in the for/aft control. Then an adjustment to the lift and tilt switches got rid of the jerky response. I fetched the leaky cylinder from the hydraulics shop and re-installed it. I used the machine all day with no control problems whatsoever and no more leaks. I also received a manual thru eBay today. It covers the Allis Chalmers ACE 20 thru 120 series Electric forklifts and has all of the schematics and systems trouble shooting info. It looks like my system is not Actronic, and after reading the Actronic section of the manual, that's a relief. So, I'm in good shape now thanks to all of the help here. Thanks guys.

Found a completely dry Master Cylinder and filled it. It took quite a bit of time to work all of the air out, but the brakes have been holding solid for the last few days. I found several tilt cylinder kits, all different numbers, but without a parts manual I thought I'd be throwing money away. I did find a local machine shop that agreed to rebuild the tilt cylinder for $100. They have it now. My next project will be trying to smooth out the slightly jumpy controls. From what I've read, the controller contacts may need service. The machine is coming along nicely on very few dollars. I hope it continues that way. Thanks again. -- Previous Private Message -- Sent by : WDman1949 Sent : Sep 24 2018 at 12:34pm Hi sorry cant help with manual but the brakes are pretty simple master cylinder should be below the floor board with lines running to the wheels brakes and cylinders are behind the drive wheels .Wheels should have caps in the center and a large nut holding bearings on IE you have bolts holding wheels on depends on year and size of lift { they made a small 3000 lb and a large 3-4 and 5000 } cylinders are probably not available but kits should be NAPA or any auto parts store should be able to get brake shoes can be relined if you have a shop that does clutch and brake remanufacturing Hope this helps |
