I went through this literally two weeks ago. Here's what I did- New wheel cylinders off Ebay - $30ea Master cylinder rebuild kit from Clark - $35 I didn't feel like screwing with the shuttlevalve and its cylinder, so I plumbed around them. The pads had quite a bit of meat left, but were glazed over so I buffed them with a sanding disc. The drums were the same, so they went on the lathe to have the glaze broken. About $100, couple hours of time and Clark stops again. You'll need an assortment of extensions, with at least one wobble-end. PM me if you get lost, it's easy.

Thanks very much for the replies, all very helpful. There is brake fluid in the machine, and it doesn't appear to be leaking anywhere. When I open the cap on the master cylinder, and depress the break pedal, there is no motion at all to be seen in the fluid. Does feel like the brake pedal isn't doing a thing. Not surprisingly, the shuttle valve on this doesn't work either, so I would go the route of bypassing it.
I have the parts list, so I think I'll order the cylinder repair kit from Clark, and take it form there. I'm not a mechanic by trade, but will see how far I can get. I'm fairly good with these things, but will no doubt be looking/begging for help once I start. Thanks again.

Nat, Your post said 'brake cylinder'.I thought the original suspect was your master cylinder. Did you mean to say master cylinder?
PREVENT ACID BURNS • Sulfuric acid in battery electrolyte is poisonous. It is strong enough to burn skin, eat holes in clothing, and cause blindness if splashed into eyes. 
Warm battery to 16°C (60°F).
Typically before a master cylinder is rebuilt it is honed with a brake cylinder hone.go figure! If you can do this hone job in situ then no need to take the master cylinder off.I suspect this isn't the case though. It really would be best, if this is the master cylinder, to remove it, hone, clean and rebuilt it on the bench. You could even bench bleed it to save yourself some time when you reinstall and bleed the entire system.

The R&R holds true to the wheel cylinders too, unless they are dead easy to hone while attached to the backing plates. Nat, Sometimes it's more cost effective to do as you say and purchase the replacement instead of a kit to do it yourself. The SOP on the rebuild is to take the master cylinder off the rig, tear it down and inspect the bore. There should be no rust pockets or gouges in the bore that won't clean up with a brake cylinder hone.
These hones don't take off much material but typically the bore isn't damaged too much.usually some little rust pits. After honing it you clean up the cylinder and assemble the new components. Use a little brake fluid as your assembly lube. After assembly you can fill the reservoir and bleed the thing out on the bench. When you install it, it will be full of fluid and all the air will be purged which makes the final bleed procedure much easier.
Do a Google search.there are probably a million DIY articles on it. It's easy to do and I think you will prevail. I will say this.IMHO it usually the wheel cylinder that take a dump before the master cylinder does.
Clark Forklift Parts IntellaLiftparts offers thousands of different Clark forklift and pallet truckparts. The Clark Equipment Company is ultimately responsible for the forklifttruckthat we know today. Around 1917, a group of workers at Clark Equipment Co. (originallyBuchananElectric Steel Company, located in Michigan) built a prototype cartcalled theTructractor with a gas engine and three wheels to help move sand androughcastings around their factory. Though not easy to use and rather unsafe(thesteering was reversed and there were no brakes), the fork cart hadsignificantadvantages over the platform trucks typically used in industry at thetime.Visitors to the factory began asking for their own carts, but becauseof WorldWar I the supplies were not available to the Clark employees to beginproduction.
This remained the case until an officer in the US Army visited theClarkfactory and saw potential for the cart in transporting explosivesduring thewar. Commissioned by the military, this led to the eventual productionof themodel Truclift that experts agree was the first hydraulic lift truck intheworld. In the 1920s, the company began expanding, constructing a newfacilityin Battle Creek, Michigan, and releasing new Duat, CLARKat, CLARKtor,andTructier models. In fact, the CLARKtor holds the record for the longesteverproduction span among lift trucks. With these foundational steps, Clark went on to become the marketleader inproduction of, providing 90% of the American Forces' tow and lift trucksduring World War II. After the war, Clark continued innovating with electric forklift modelsand anew production facility in Germany.
