    Ford E450 Bucket Truck (Roberts Hydraulic) – 12V or 24V System? Rewiring After Battery Fire

    Thanks Mike. Will do. Thinking I might have to bite the bullet and find a specialty shop. I know one that charges $185.00 hr but sadly I've heard they aren't that good. Many people go there and feel they are being overcharged. I think I'll call Roberts in Quebec on Monday and ask them where...
