| I just purchased the ftp 30-24 over the weekend. I'm excited to get working on it and getting it running. I am not familiar with LPG fuel system so can anyone help me with identifying some components. There is something leaking when I turn the gas on, it is the first thing the line goes to and it almost looks like a filter canister but it has what looks like a solenoid attached to the line coming out of it. If anybody could give me some information on what that is I would really appreciate it |

I will take a look in the parts book and see the options. I know my book shows 3 different brand LP regulator brands. 2 of them are Century and Ensign. The item you mentioned is the fuel lock. ------------- Allis-Chalmers 1927 E,1928 U,1944 WC,H3,D10,D12,D14,D15,D17,D21,TT-10 Terra Tiger, 1964 AC Golf Cart, Allis Chalmers Fridges,100's of AC Literature and Ops.and Parts manuals |

My parts book is for FTL20-24, FTL25-24, FTBL30-24 LP Lift trucks which I believe are newer than yours. My Model FTB30-24 has a Waukeshau 4 cyl motor. Not sure if the LP system parts are the same. The Ensign regulator has fuel lock mounted to it. if it is the same. The solenoid # is 74055623. Repair kit is #74055065 ftp://ftp.jpg/" rel="nofollow -

| Tom I wasn't able to open the link that you added to you last post. The system on my forklift has an ensign filter housing and the lock off is right after the filter do you know know who made the lock off. It also has a safety pressure release valve close to the lock off and I think that is my problem. That is what is leaking. Thank you for all the information |

Hello, We purchased a used Allis Chalmers FTB 30-24 Forklift and are trying to find parts for it. Unfortunately, it didn't come with a manual. Does anybody know which brakes are needed for it. It's an old unit and we've done servicing on it to get it running. Now need to replace brakes and are having issues finding the correct size brake shoes and brake kits for it. Seems that all attempts for brakes are much smaller than the unit requires. Thanks in advance and any help is greatly appreciated!

You could try Hgmforkliftpart.com or trupar if you havent already done so. There are a few other posts on here that refer to these lifts. Some of the people that posted have parts or maintenance manuals. There is also a guy that restored a ftb 30-24 that may be able to help you I'll try to find the exact posts for you |

Tom, I am working on a FTB 30-24, I have a factory parts book I'm happy to share imfo with, my question is a FTB 30-24 the same as a ACC -40-ps or a ACP 40-PS ? Or do you know the military identifier for same? I need a service/maint manual. I'm asking because I found a "liberated manual" here https://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-10-3930-644-14-and-P.pdf" rel="nofollow - https://www.liberatedmanuals.com/TM-10-3930-644-14-and-P.pdf I have 2 issues, I 'm afraid to download it fearing malware and I'm not sure this is the correct model "Alice" my old lift began running rough after a coolant leak got the dist wet. The wires were so old they broke off when I tried to remove them!! So I put on a new cap, rotor, wires and plugs...........she still barley runs.......this am I will go out and warm the LP regulator and see if it smooths out? If not I will install the new points and ops check it again. Any help would be appreciated I wrote you after seeing you had a lot of AC literature! Thanks again!

I just bought a FT30-15 for my hardware store and I am having a lot of trouble locating some. I keep finding the F30 and the FTB30 and sometimes the FTP30. Do you know if they are just different generations and which ones would be close enough for a manual? My forklift still has the Buda name embossed on the gas tank cover and the hydraulic control cover. So, I assume it's relatively close to when Allis purchased Buda. v/r Joe
