Liebherr 994/996 really are a POS aren't they ..? Can't hardly find anyone who has to maintain them with a good word to say about them.

Replace the end casting in the boom and she'll be good to go ........ only difficulty with that idea is that most likely the casting will be on a 12-month delivery ex-factory. That'll be a Nooooooooo then.
I looked closer at the pictures and have a question. In pic 4, the syick is hanging at an angle, and the bucket is clearly off the ground. It looks like the operator is just bringing it down from its loading bench, where the problem likely occured.
Looking at pic 3, there is daylight on BOTH sides of the boom to stick connection. Did it break the rest of the way when it was set down? Pic 2, the close up, only shows one side.
With the projected wait for the end casting, wil they park it, or risk a field fix to get some use out of it until the new part comes? Just curious.

That was at Ernest Henry Mine, digging very hard rock.
I wasn't there when it happened, not really sure, but I think they fitted a replacement boom. no doubt that one was repaired, probably at Mackay or Adelaide.
i got some pics of that machine in happier times... ; )
