Hi. I'm new and posted in the Wheel Loader section what my topic is. I've had only one response from someone from Italy wanting to send me a service manual or something which I'm admittedly skeptical of. Can someone guide me on this forum so that I can receive a more thorough set of responses? I felt like I presented with enough info to bite on but maybe I'm missing something. Here's what I posted below minus the pictures I posted of my unit... a 1985 Clark 75B with Cummings 504.
Thanks in advance!

Hello all! This is my very first post here. Last year I purchased a used loader to do some heavy work on our land. I've owned a few skid steers, farm tractors and we have a decent sized excavator. I wouldn't say I'm a pro by any means. Especially when it comes to knowledge of these machines. I'm a peripheral parts changer and a mediocre operator.
With that said...Wow! This machine is a screaming beast! It also needs my help after serving well over the last year.
Here's what I need to do to get it going again. Any help on locating parts and hacks to repair is greatly appreciated:
1) The left hydro ram that raises the bucket (or forks) leaks like crazy (2-5gal per day based on usage) and I need to find a seal kit for it.
2) Need ring seal around tire beads x 2. Ours are rusted and pitted and tires leak down quickly. We spend 45min airing up tires each use if a week between use.
3) Throttle pedal sticks like crazy. This has not ended well when moving in tight spaces. We've mowed down a few fences when someone new to the game has hopped in it. We don't tell them on purpose. Haha!
4) Where exactly are the stamped serial numbers on the front and rear of frame? This would save me alot of trouble. The badges on the side are almost completely worn.
On the engine info I can read it has a manufacture date of 10/84, V-504-C, engine number 20239471, So. No. D 7878, Engine Cert ID: C.I.D.504, Family: None, CPI: 5023
On the badge thats almost completely worn I can read 75B for sure. To the right of that all I can make out is 3D23...maybe a zero after that.
I can post pics of the badge if anyone wants to take a crack at it. I will also post pics of the loader as they are on my mobile and I am currently on a laptop.
Thanks in advance!
Thanks in advance!
