Hello all,
I've got a Cat 428C Serial No. 2CR03671 that's got an issue with the front lifting cylinders. This issue started a while back, whereby you'd have to operate the bucket tilt to get the front boom up. I didn't pay much attention at the time as it was doing a pipeline trench job that didn't require the front bucket to be used. However, it's been doing some heavier duties lately, and it's gotten to the point where you have to operate the rear stabiliser to get the boom up. I don't really have any good hydraulic mechanics in my area, and the local dealers (Mantrac) would probably charge me more than the machine's worth, so I'm not really tempted to go down that route. Any advice/help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
