yea, i held valve up and pumped with no luck, probably 50 times and tried holding both rh lh o/r and pumping. didnt feel pressure building
can i just dig out outrigger and hookup come along. unhook hydro hoses?

i got it out of the field without retracting. r12 relay was first problem

the crane has some movement when i turn it on and set controls but i havent been able to set the legs.
manual says the top row of mhc shouldnt work until they are set

rpm meter doesnt work.
i took a picture of throttle. manual says 'L' is the 1250-1450 but my doesnt increase until past that
i thought i was in range but stinger came out and wouldnt return.
i kept increasing throttle and bottom row of wrecker controls started working with 30k winch.
it got to a point where someone had to hold it in the cab, didnt come with remote

when i switched to RH controls(using hammer), top, the legs and other winch didnt work.

ill swap the hoses tomorrow but im missing something in the manual. looking at fuses next

That's a possibility! I don't have to raise rpm to work anything. I park turn pump on and get out and run crane or wrecker lift or winches without ever coming off idle.

I have one here that some of the crane functions dont work. The manual dosnt seem to have crane function troubleshooting. It says refer to higher level maint.

The LH-RH valve on wrecker. When i move the valve to underlift and right winch it works. but when i change to LH driver winch/ stifflegs, it sounds like clutch not engaging a trans. RH still works. havent taken apart yet. its harvest time for hemp
