Well, I'm gaining slowly, but it seems like two steps forward and one step back right now.
Engine is in the liebherr, got it running Monday, and home to shop. Ran good on the way home. I've got a issue with the oil pressure sending unit, I'm actually thinking the sender is fine, but that we've pinched a wire.
I've got a manual gauge plumbed in, and making great oil pressure. So we got the crane set up, and it won't telescope boom. All question marks on the gauges. Called tech, they walked me through it all, and I had a proximity sensor in the boom go bad. New sensor showed up this morning. Installed, called tech and got it "confirmed" in the computer. Boom scopes in and out.
Ran crane for a while after putting in switch, and it starts losing power while running hydraulics, I was thinking its just cold, but it got worse. Shut it down and everything looks good, just low on power. Pulled fuel filters, and the primary looked really dirty, they were new filters when engine installed. Thinking in setting for a month and a half through the monsoon season we've been having, plus I have fought slime before in the crane.
New filters installed, tank is drained of fuel and fresh fuel in it, and then batteries didn't have enough left to crank it over enough to get it going. We had done a bunch of cranking to get it going back on monday and saturday, and had to recharge them several times, so I'm guessing one of them isn't much good. New batteries are showing up in the morning, and I guess tomorrow we will see what happens.
At least its at my shop.
