Can I get parts for this specific machine?

Not a 35B or C

How do you fix rear steering alignment if there are not tie rods jus hydraulic rams and they are not in synch?

Thanks!!!!
 
Without photos of the actual steering system I am not sure how anyone could even begin to help you with this unless they so happened to work on one recently. So there is no tie rod to connect both sides, even on the opposite side of the steering axle? The cylinder rods are not coming out of both ends of one central cylinder? If not I would guess turning the steering one direction to its stop and holding it there would re-phase the cylinders. However there may be some leak by in the seals or something not right in the control hand pump up by the steering wheel letting them get out of sync again. If this is an obvious problem when looking at the machine for its age I would say it is closer to a $2000 machine, but I am really just pulling figures out of the air. Can you get parts for it? I have no clue. Here is a link to a heavy equipment forum maybe you can get more info there.

Fritz, I believe what you are seeing is one of the ends of a hydraulic steering cylinder. Look at the front axle I see what he is talking about that there are two cylinders steering the axle. We just have to wait to see if he confirms there is no tie rod on the side of the axles opposite the steering cylinders.

They have tie rods on the opposite side of the axles from the steering cylinders. The tie rods are bent downward in the center to clear the drive line and gearheads.
 
Okay, I see what you are talking about now. That
should have an adjustment or needs straighten if bent
from original shape to get wheel toe setting corrected.
 

If the original poster was wondering about syncing the rear wheels to the front when they have no mechanical connection, generally on those set ups you have to make a hard turn to the stops so both axle's steering goes to the end of travel, then straighten out and they will be as synchronized as they get.
 
For those without Facebook, it is a rigid frame wheel loader with 4-wheel steering.

I don't know if it will be helpful but there is a Youtube Channel called "Salvage Workshop" where if I'm not mistaken, he resurrected a Clark 35 forklift, which is the same machine.
 
If I remember correctly, on that machine there is a handle that will lock the rear wheels from turning, while allowing the fronts to turn. If so, get the rear wheels straight, and then lock them. Then use the be steering wheel to adjust the fronts to being straight. When you unlock the rear wheels, they should track with the fronts properly.
 
I think I would run not walk away from it if you have not already bought it and fins something you can get parts for easier. Like an old Cat or Deere loader. Yup you will probably pay more for it but parts will be more available. Who wants to look for 6 months for parts or till one is found in Timbuktu. Then have to freight it half way around the world for lots of money, just to get it,and in the mean time you needed it 4 moths ago. Also they never break setting around nor slow times always when you need them most.
 
Can't help with your question, and not trying to dissuade you, but that that thing wouldn't be worth much more than scrap to me if if functioned perfectly. They weren't very highly regarded when new.
