Got this off GovPlanet a couple weeks ago - Ekko EK20R. Full on Chinese built machine. Only has 300hrs on it and I've found/fixed several minor issues but it's got a broken king pin in one of the steering knuckles and I'm hitting a wall trying to find one and associated bearings/etc. Haven't been able to find any Ekko dealers anywhere near me and Ekko support wants part numbers to order from China. Problem is crappy parts manual is missing the individual parts for the steering axle. For other forklifts simple king pin kits are available but I haven't been able to find for this unit.
Broken king pin is.988 .980 dia x 7.25 long. Gotta believe it's simply a copy of another brand but I can't find dimensions for various easily available king pin kits. Worst case, I can make a pin that will probably work well enough given the limited use it's likely to get over the rest of its life but I'd like to get the correct part if possible and bearings.
