500 forklift won’t go into gear?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I’m going tomorrow to pick up a 500 forklift, unaware of year or anything. Getting a pretty good deal on it, the seller says he shut off one day and the next it wouldn’t go in to gear? He says he thinks linkage may have came apart internally. I’ve never looked at this in person yet (4.5 hours from me). Is there a common issue that might cause this? I’m unsure if he means the transmission wont go into gear or the shuttle. He has it listed has a hydrostatic transmission, I don’t think that’s the case? As far as all the research I’ve done thus far so maybe he isn’t too sure about the machine. Just trying to get an idea of what I might be getting into. Thanks!
