[QUOTE="HanSolo, post: 58984, member: 7905"] Update to this thread... The rebuilt starter, new fuel pump, FPR, new plugs and wires did the trick. I was able to get that 1974 Wisconsin engine running. The distributor was turned 180 off timing. I drained and put in fresh hydraulic fluid. The system came alive and all cylinders and drive motors were working well. A few hours of work then I began hearing a wining noise. http://www.skidsteerforum.com/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=54&frmView=ShowPost&PostID=58647#58647 So I drained the fluid again, changed both filters and put in the "black gold" fluid. Still wining. However, the charging system failed and drained the battery. I pulled the crusty voltage regulator (part is available from Clark Forklift) and the alternator. I believe the sound is coming from the alternator which was almost completely frozen up. I dropped that off for rebuild today and the VR arrives tomorrow. Also, a seal has failed on one of the lift cylinders so I'll be getting to know that real soon too. On a positive note, I found a new Versatach medium duty fork attachment for $475 right down my road so that was a good find. [/QUOTE]
