I have a friend who used to work for a clark dealership who said that theses aren't to hard to repair if you have the correct packing tools, and impossible if you don't. Are these packing tools available for purchaes and where can I get them if they are? I can get the mast and cyl #s if needed, I just don't have them right now. Andy. Posted22 May 2009 02:27 AM.
Andy, there is a reason your company sends them out. They are an absolute bear. If this is the telescoping type cylinder the gland nuts are brass and have very little tolerance for pressure. If you use the typical chain or spanner type wrenches (or even worse a hammer and punch) you will deform them and then you will have the cylinder back out again going to the hydraulic shop. I am sure you are a very competent tech but this is a fight you will loose 8 out of 10 times unless you do them everyday like a hydraulic shop. Just trying to help a brother out when its hot as.

Thanks for the feed back guys, truth be told, I realy don't want to do it in the field, the customer was trying to avoid the extra expence of transporting the machine back to the shop and all the related down time, and I don't blame them for trying to avoid all that. Since not all the seals are leaking, putting feelers out about a field repair seemed reasonable. Next time I see the guy I will tell him that the international council of forklift repair elders give that idea a thumbs down!;).
Posted17 Jul 2009 08:33 AM. Andy,At the risk of being appropriatley chastised. I have resealed a few of these in the field. The top two packings in the truck is what I am talking about. Never this capacity- but I think it is just a matter of scale.
The trick is getting the brass collar above one of the seals out as I recall. I can check my teardown pics if you want, but it seems that one gland nut does not have a collar- just the seal. On this one you just pick it out. On the other seal, I chain the free lift from moving, remove the gland nut, start the machine and feather the lift spool just enough to push the collar and seal out. Take the top bracket loose, snap ring-ring- and 3 dogs. Remove and clean gland nuts, sealing area inside tubes as well as possible, grease and slide seals on place. Push one side of seal in and gently work the remaining seal in- pushing with a wooden dowel rod.Steve.

Clark Forklift PartsIntella Liftparts offers thousands of different Clark forklift and pallet truck parts.The Clark Equipment Company is ultimately responsible for the forklift truck that we know today.Around 1917, a group of workers at Clark Equipment Co. (originally Buchanan Electric Steel Company, located in Michigan) built a prototype cart called the Tructractor with a gas engine and three wheels to help move sand and rough castings around their factory. Though not easy to use and rather unsafe (the steering was reversed and there were no brakes), the fork cart had significant advantages over the platform trucks typically used in industry at the time. Visitors to the factory began asking for their own carts, but because of World War I the supplies were not available to the Clark employees to begin production.This remained the case until an officer in the US Army visited the Clark factory and saw potential for the cart in transporting explosives during the war. Commissioned by the military, this led to the eventual production of the model Truclift that experts agree was the first hydraulic lift truck in the world. In the 1920s, the company began expanding, constructing a new facility in Battle Creek, Michigan, and releasing new Duat, CLARKat, CLARKtor, and Tructier models. In fact, the CLARKtor holds the record for the longest ever production span among lift trucks.With these foundational steps, Clark went on to become the market leader in production of forklift trucks, providing 90% of the American Forces' tow and lift trucks during World War II.After the war, Clark continued innovating with electric forklift models and a new production facility in Germany.
For the next few decades, Clark acquired the forklift production branches of many other companies, but the early 2000s saw financial trouble for the company and even a production standstill in 2001. After filing for bankruptcy twice and changing ownership many times, Clark has existed as Clark Central Parts since 2003.
Clark is now owned by a Korean firm.Looking for a Clark seat, steering parts, or a Clark foklift manual? Intella has your covered.
