300U Forklift

Posted by Dellbertt on September 25, 2011 at 04:54:41 from (209.172.21.251):

I have a 300U with a built on rear forklift. I shut down the tractor with the forklift extended and then released the lever. As the mast came down I heard a gurgling sound and oil was coming out of the breather cap on top of the reservoir cover under the seat. About a quart came out.

The next morning I checked the fluid and it was just below full and clean. I started the tractor and raised the mast and it worked smooth. I shut the tractor off and lowered the mast and heard a lot of air hissing out of the breather cap but no oil. Having used this forklift in a daily farm operation for a long time I don’t recall hearing air escape before.

The mast does work ok now but I haven’t tried lifting anything.

Any thoughts on the oil escaping?

Thanks,

Dell
