This is a Clark C500-25 model forklift. We believe it is a early 1980s model and is rated to lift 2500lbs. It ran okay for the most part but the main problem was the leaking lift cylinder. In this video we tear it apart and rebuild it.
Thanks for this video. This helped a ton. Just got mine apart and the exact same model. Battery is a 3EE btw, lol. After hours of research seals are 1811164 and tons of aftermarket ones out there on Ebay and Amazon. I found out all fluid capacities and filter numbers if anyone needs them. Lemme know. Thanks for the vid
CLK-1811164-E $311.00 CLK-1811164 $235.00 I have purchased from Hercules Sealing Products $250.00 approximately with shipping. This cylinder is not for the faint hearted. These guys made some cringe worthy mistakes if you’re a professional shop. But I like the get’er done attitude. My o’l man always would say “nothing ventured nothing gained”. Hood job.
you guys ever hear of a spanner wrench? would stop the need for a welder. never seen any hydraulic repairs that needed a welder. I just rebuilt the same cylinder from the same Hilo in this video. i cringed watching you unmount from the mast. i used a cherry picker (alot safer).
I'm not a hyd. shop either but welding to a gland nut isn't the best option. just sharing my exp. for others watching your video and where they can get the tools I used to the same lift truck and cyl. seals. wasn't really picking on you or trying to trigger anyone. @@Wolfpupfab
