Graphite powder works wonders on my original 264. Rub a bit onto the area where it is sticking and on the magnet on the forklift.

I had one of those, I had to do some "tweaking" underneath to get smooth operation.
I've noticed mine is real susceptible to any amount of dust on the metal platform. If I experience the sticking, I can ordinarily correct it real easily by cleaning the metal platform and the bottoms of the wheels on the forklift.
I'll also caution against using wax on the metal platform, a mistake I only needed to make once. The forklift hit the wood stack on the flatcar going so fast I swear to God the wood flew 6 feet.

My postwar original is still moving lumber as sweet as can be. That forklift driver must be getting hungry by now. Have not had one issue with it-great action accessory.

I have been using teflon lubricant it does not build up like the graphite. Keeping the platform clean is a must.
Also I've found the more the fork lift is operated the better it works.

i have a magnet. will try the graphite. the wheels are rubber, no buttons. without the towmotor on it the mechanism cycles complete every time.
just a note. my unit is a couple years old but was brand new and just got it out of the box.
