Well put the backhoe on last night, havent used it since last october. All controls work good except left stick lowering boom. It will move about half way then there is a major resistance. Boom does lower and is under pressure, just slow, like its not fully opening up. Pulled cover away from valve area and the little rod that goes into that housing doesnt go as far as the others. Up movement is fine. This back hoe has 12 hours on it. Already broken the cylender, twisted the dipperstick arm (there was a shim missing from the factory that contributed to that) and now this. Its out of warrenty and every time I want to use it it either breaks or its broken.
I was looking at ways to get the cap off the valve on the bottom but they way its put in there is like a chinese puzzle, very poor design for someone who needs to work on it. Any one have any ideas of whats wrong? I have tried the usual of purging the lines by holding the boom in the up position etc.
What next?
