I have an old all terrain forklift I am getting up and running. I had the head rebuilt and finally got it running. It runs great so far, and I am very happy with it. I got it for scrap price, so I am playing with house money.
I had a question about getting the hydraulics back up and working. Is there anything I should do as a preventative measure with the hydraulic system? I have heard tell about flushing the system out, but I don't know what that looks like specifically.
I thought I better ask before I make a mistake, I am new to tractors and hydraulics. I also have a knuckle boom crane and the same with that...

If the oil looks clean I wouldn't change it if it were my machine, unless it seems to have water in it. There's no harm in changing the hyd. fluid and the advantage with a forklift is that most of the oil is back in the tank when the forks are on the ground. When you have equipment-hydraulics with numerous cylinders oil changes are only a partial help as so much oil is still contained in the cylinders etc.
