Hi all
I know its not a tractor but maybe someone on here can help me with my old Manitou MB26JC shuttle shift forklift
I thinks its 1980s vintage and has a Ford three cylinder engine and shuttle shift torque converter transmission
I believe some older tractors and backhoes use the same skid unit
Its never had great drive since I got it but recently the drive in forward and reverse failed completely
I tried checking levels, changing filters and visual inspection of the linkages with no success
I bought a pressure gauge and tested the transmission fluid pump pressure through the inspection plate under the gearbox and the pressure seems fine, through this aperture I can see the torwue converter spinning when the engine is running and some drips of fluid in this area which I think should be totally dry
I have started to try to remove the engine to access the gearbox, pump, seals, shift valves, clutch rings etc. but it looks like you cannot just lift the engine back to clear the gearbox as it and tye gearbox are bolted to a frame that looks like it holds the axle just in front of the counterweight
One if my questions is do I have to remove the counterweight and unbolt the frame and roll the while lot back with yhe engine to split the engine from the box and if so whats the best way to do this?
I cant find a shop manual for this machine only a manual fir a Ford backhoe which seems to share the same skid unit, engine and box but of course the frame is totally different
Any help with the method to split or what the fault might be would be much appreciated
