Anyone seen the 4 bushes used to run the thread (which is also weird as it has round pins on each end) on the 8416 Forklift before? I am trying to do an inventory, and I can't find them, I think they are new? Cheers, AP. (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.technic)

Hello Ron, For as far as I can tell, you have done the right things: checking the batteries and the antennas.
