I have a Takeuchi TB175 that a rat chewed three 3 of the low pressure pilot control hoses to.
The one from the boom swing foot pedal to the "brain."
One from the pattern changer to joystick.
One from track controls to joystick.
All functions seem to work except the foot pedal that swings the boom. When depressed nothing happens. However if I am using the joystick at the same time it pushes it to neutral and the joystick is unmovable.
Do I need to bleed the system? I'm wondering if because air is compressible perhaps it can't activate a valve in the brain somehow and so there's a connection that is just not opening?
I have not tried walking it outside and being aggressive with the controls because I don't want to damage anything.
I was under the impression that you could simply cycle controls and it would push the air out however maybe that is not true for pilot controls?
Thanks everyone.
