    270dlc no boom down power

    so with boom down pilot spool on boom 1 spool blocked off i can only get half the pressure i get if it isnt blocked off. i only blocked off the top since this is where boom down pilot pressure goes to .

    diagnosing hydraulic leak

    i actually did the pilot pump about 500 hours ago to try and clean up some leaks as it was leaking out the sides but a seal kit is 70 bucks so ill try that. i do take oil samples occasionally and ive never noticed anything so maybe i just didnt install the seals on the pilot pump correctly.
