looking at a coating of hydraulic oil all over my toolbox/deck of the 816,,,, Yup its time to address the telescoping extension cylinder in the boom.
Anyone got a diagram or schematic of the "correct" way to open that beast up.... Looked in the wrecker sections of the TM but found mostly winch or bed related info.... figure this to be a Depot level repair.
I can knock the pins out and get the cyl out easy enough..... but pushing it back up in the rear of the boom and attaching the front pin is where Im scratching my head.... I shudder to think about collapsing the cyl and pulling the front boom out of the rear boom with the cyl in tow, then having to put it all back in there with a very geriatric shaky backhoe..... need another wrecker..... wife says one is enough.....
Got weather- (snowman poop ) coming in this week, thus Im not looking to get started just doing my homework, cant tell if its the packing or one of the lines that is leaking.
