Hi,

I have ordered a set of manuals for my D4 6U s/n 11157 with a Hyster D4D towing winch but until I get them, would anyone have an exploded view of the steering clutch / brake area?

I would like to adjust the brakes and I know how, while doing that I would like to see the components and what is actually in the housing.

I have removed the top plate and it looks like there was quite a bit of moisture in the housings and would like to make sure everything is free that should be free, move and adjustable.

If needed directions on how to remove or change the brake bands would be a help.

Thanks,

Rick

Hi Rick---you have a 1955 6U and i have a 1955 7U---the brake adjustment nut is visible when you removed that cover plate--it is a 9/16 bolt head on the adjustment gizmo and extends upward so you can adjust it---my parts and service books are not with me right now
the first thing i did to my brakes/clutches was drain all the water and oil out of the compartments and then put in a couple of gallons of kerosene and ran the machine to clean all the crud out and then drain

Thanks, I see that, both sides were frozen but with plenty of penetrating oil they are starting to move going slowly for now.
I am wondering if there are any inspection covers I can easily remove to look around and perhaps spray anything else that may not be visible from the top through the inspection cover that I already have off?

Thanks

You are correct, got it, and all seems well. Both brakes adjusted up well both on top and underneath.
The next step will be to drain and flush all the housings and things should be good to go.

Thanks so much for your help,

Rick

Put plugs in the bottom, fill with diesel, drive it around for a spell working the brakes and steering clutches. Then drain and put in plugs with cotter key drain holes.

You will be be good to go!

Thanks, I have done that and letting it sit for a couple days with the plugs & cotter pins out to let things drain and dry as good as it can.

I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
