    Posted: 01 Jul 2025 at 10:20am
Hi,
I was wondering if anyone out there has built a list of all (or partial, for that matter) hydraulic hoses used in the the ACC40 forklift built in 1980.  I need to replace mine and the parts manual I have (one of the military copies) is pretty weak.  What I'm ideally looking for is the following information:

1. Diameter
2. Length
3. Fitting size and type (JIC, pipe, etc)
4. Location of hose (to keep them straight)

If there is a "favorite source" for hoses where the vendor knows Allis equipment, that would be useful information.  Ditto on the hose brands that have the best longevity.  In essence, anything you would like to share regarding hoses (or the lift itself!) would be greatly appreciated!

I've also been searching for any manual (service, parts, etc) that is *not* one of the military manuals.  I am kind of crippled by what I've got because often the military parts manual has NSN part numbers which don't help at all because they are only vaguely related to Allis part numbers.

Thanks!

Any hose I need to replace, goes with me to the supplier and he can easily match it up to what I have.

I'm trying to avoid going back and forth, hence the reason I'd like to buy a full set all at once.  All of my hoses, frankly, are in pretty bad shape.  The metal braid is showing on all of them, so I just want to replace them all.

I went through the only source of information I have, which is the fairly widely available US Army parts listing for the ACC40.  However, I am not sure how to interpret the part numbers for the hoses.  Some seem to have length embedded into the number, while others actually seem to have the hose type.  None appear to have the fitting.  I'm thinking they may all be JIC, although that is TBD.  Any thoughts on this, or any other related topic, are welcomed.  Here is the listing I have:


I've accumulated this information..
 <OK... that didn't work... Inserting a table really screwed up the formatting of the webpage... second try... I uploaded it as a PDF so that part numbers can be easily clipped>

Nobody seems to know anything about forklifts. Wink Other than they are handy, Wink an if you offered they would take yours for cheap.LOL

There are people here, that can tell you every trick an AC tractor ever pulled on anyone. But forklifts.Sleepy    ErmmConfusedSleepy

Good luck ......................maybe find a mobile mechanic with a hose crimping machine.

I have a friend who’s a forklift mechanic. He won’t touch mine with a ten foot pole

I rather like mine... Built like a tank.  Not the easiest to work on, I'm finding, but that is mainly because of the age old problem of odd part numbers that nobody can seem to decipher....  I'm curious why your friend, plummerscarin, won't touch yours.  It doesn't seem like there is anything to mysterious about them if you have the parts.

Ray54... Yeah, I'm finding that, unfortunately.  I have pretty much decided that all of the fittings are JIC though, so that is good.  This is part educated guess (by the age and location of manufacture) and part sleuthing (like finding the NSN number for the fittings the hoses screw into, and learning that they are JIC.  Getting the diameter of the hose is another matter.... That is driving me nuts.  And I do have trepidation about how to change some of the hoses.  I don't really know how you access things from underneath.  Lifting a forklift is not something I'm very familiar with and I'm very safety conscious.
