Im quite familiar with brakes, have done plenty of them... I understand what you are saying.
I jsut fear that everything is going to be froze up or very rusty as this thing has been doing a lot of sitting. The property that it is on is level so if there is an issue with the brakes its not going to go any where. If I feel that something has to be done I will take the challenge
As far as the boom I have only used it for r&r of engines in boats which at tops 600#'s as of so far. The truck has hydraulic stabilizer legs also which can pretty much pick up the truck, which I use anytime I use the boom. If I do pick up anything very heavy I will indeed keep it low and test out how it feels before picking up very high. And yes its my first boom truck and it's a blast to operate!!!
I will check the bleeders... but if they dont want to move I will leave it alone... I have ran across many stuck drums - froze up adjusters - broken springs ect ect ect. Not sure if I want to dive into that at this time especially what little distance it goes.
Thanks for all the info...
