    The Hydraulic Nightmare Has Begun

    I think I do David. Its not vey big and done by AW. It even says something about it being and interim manual. I need to scare it up and take a pic of it. Sound right? It even has an extra sheet of paper showing how to mount it on a different truck.. IIRC it covers the 62 as well.

    The Hydraulic Nightmare Has Begun

    Well, the nightmare is underway. Wednesday went out to lift the boom of the wrecker and the hose that provides oil to the valve bank burst. After my oil shower I found the problem and tried to remove the hose. No wrenches bigger than 1 1/4" so the day was done. On the way to work stopped by...
