    We have an old ('59 I think) Hyster H60 forklift at work. Hydraulic fluid leaks like a sieve when under load, and looks like used motor oil. We're going to change it, but what do these things take? Will a normal (AW46) hydraulic fluid be ok? Not sure if it doubles as tranny fluid, in which case...

    Does anyone wash and re-use their rags???

    I know that may sound crazy to some people, but I worked in some shops that had a cleaning service come in to wash not only all of the uniforms every week, but the used rags also. I know it's common practice. Even the greasiest, most oil soaked, dirt embedded, used to wipe grease from the...

    then why does my yamaha banshee owners manual specifically say NOT to use it in the tranny? It recommends regular 10W-30 motor oil, but says not to use diesel oil. I thought the opposite. Why is this?
