Been working on my 40ton P&H, finally got it in front of the shop, been changing a bunch of hoses on the control system. Bled the system yesterday, fired it up and wanted to start putting the boom back on it.
When I took the boom off to move it, I could only boom up, it wouldn't boom down with only the boom heel. It did this when I first got it, the boom heel alone wasnt enough weight to pull it down. I hung the hook block on the end of the heel and that did it.
Tried that trick again, and it didn't help. I hung all the fast line balls on the heel as well, same thing, no boom down.
The brake is releasing correctly, I can wiggle it by hand when it's released. And the boom drum twitches slightly when I try to boom down, but dosen't move. Boom dog is released as well.
Anyone have any ideas before I start adding more weight to it?
