Yes, it was taken off 40yrs ago. The bad / good is I have to figure out how heavy it should be to build a new one ,or slim chance find one close to me to buy. Good is that this unit hasn't been extended all way out , the electrician used this for most changing bulbs and ballast in parking lots. Is it possible to get copy service /parts ,wiring &hyd schematics? When weather gets nicer will drain all fluids change filters ,TLC clean then will try to start it. would like to read up on this lift first get to know it.Your counter weight is missing Catz4!
No the counter weight was taken off a long time ago. I disengage hubs worked to get unit out of hole, pulled out on road, went about block brakes started smoking. not going back so I only had about 10 blocks to go . I pulled hubs that way I know motors,brakes are released. Brakes rotors are in good shape don't want to damage them. At 5mph wheel bearing be ok short distance. Gear lube was going to change anyway. Planetary Sun gears gear lube looks new ,good to see . Boom has very little wear on it , most of life of this boom was never extended out very far. I believe this since unit hasn't had the counter weight on it in 40 yrs. Unit was used in parking lot maintenance light bulbs ballast. A few years ago when scrape was high previous owner almost scrape this unit. Sure glad he didn't .Did you get the counter weight with the unit? It bolts on to the brackets in front of the engine. If not you may want to ask the seller what happened to it.
Also the unit can be towed if the torque hubs are disengaged but the tow speed should be limited to 5 mph.

I'm gonna apologize in advance if this question has been asked because this forum is long as can be. But can anyone point me in the direction of parts for a 40F sn736017? Specifically swivel motor parts. Need oil seals in gland nut badly. And possible a back up motor. Thanks in advance.
I'm working on an old JLG 60 FR. I know this is an old thread, but it seems to contain more info than the rest of the web. I'm wondering if anyone would have a copy of the service manual or more importantly wiring schematics for this machine? The wiring has definitely been messed with over the years and I'm having multiple issues. For example, it moves ok in one direction but not the other, but the "good" direction of travel changes if I switch the valve wiring around in the panel. The steering also quit working now. I believe I may have mixed up a wire because it worked before I touched anything. I typically do general maintenance on a wide array of equipment and autos, and I have some electrical training so I think I could get to the bottom of this if I had a little info..

The machine has PQ controls. I got the steering working again. I disconnected a wire by accident. The drive issue would be nice to fix. It seems strange that it moves very very slow in one direcrion and fine the other way until wiring is flipped around. For now I wired in a switch to reverse the direction easily. I appreciate any and all information I can find.Hello Luckytalons, no has come forward with a service manual for a 60F as yet. I believe I have some wiring diagrams in PDF at home, I'll check later today. Any idea what brand of controllers your 60FR has? Racine? Moog? PQ? It makes minor differences in the diagrams
Wow that sounds like a promising tip. Thank you! Even if that's not the exact problem I'm getting a better picture of how things work. I have been suspicious of a ground issue. When I look at it again most likely Monday I will be checking for good grounds. Thanks again.I may actually be able to help with that. After going thru the whole dilemma with the dump valves (which were fine) we ended up with the same situation where boom up and rotate only worked in one direction. Turns out there was a bad ground (brown wire on ours) in the ground side control box. Because the system switches polarity (UGH) it will work fine one way but not the other.
Hope this helps.
Awesome! It's great these drawings exist. Thanks again for taking the time to help out, and for holding on to this rare info for the benefit of others.@Luckytalons
These 60F drawings are using Racine controllers on Racine valves, closest I can do at this point.
WOW, I'm just seeing this. Sorry that I've not checked in."By Golly" is right Willie! I'm sure glad Rick39 showed up. Both "od1" and "exwestracer" need his expertise.
I'm wondering if the cold problem isn't the reason I didn't see many Bertea equipped JLG's in Western Canada. They knew not to send them here. All the older ones were Moog, and then everything after about 1977 or 78 was Racine.
