I am in the process of repairing a postwar 264 forklift, and have an issue. With the vibrotor running strongly and the forklift truck removed, the camslide runs smoothly and fully in it's slot to both ends.
With the truck in place and the vibrotor continuing to run strongly, the truck does not travel fully to the end of the platform by the car. The truck also jerks while straightening after backing away from the platform as it begins traveling towards the car.
The truck platfrom is not bent or rust pitted. Any help would be appreciated.
Fixed it. The problem was incorrect tension on the buffer spring.
