Just bought a 40F that someone has really messed the bucket wiring up on. Would greatly appreciate a copy of the diagrams you have. Mine is SN 730226 it won't drive or raise the boom. If you can e mail to jchoughton@charter.net. Thanks Jim

I have taken a few photo's of the machine. One major problem besides the bucket control is when trying to raise the boom the engine lugs down and will not raise or lower. Seems as if something is locked or working against it's self.

Here are a few more of the hydraulics and control panel.

OFF, I really appreciate any help on this that you may have. I have read through a lot of the other thread. There is a wealth of information within it. It will take me some time to sort out the bucket wiring. The schematic will help with that.

It's a MOOG/MOOG!!! That's an old baby, but a good system and relatively trouble free
btw.....
that glass bulb full of mercury hanging down behind your engine goes up on the boom at the back. It controls your high engine & high drive

I had pulled it down to see if it effected the boom functions. which way is it suppose to mount wires aft or towards the boom?

wires towards the front of the boom, so the mercury makes a circuit when the boom is angled down. When the boom gets horizontal or above, the mercury breaks the circuit and you loose fast functions

Update started working the wiring and found that a section along the boom over 6 feet has deteriorated so bad that most of the wires are exposed and very brittle. Also found that someone had reversed the positive and negative cables off the battery and had the hot attached to the engine block. Don't know how it was starting but would probably explain the burnt up alternator. Still no boom up down and rotation has stopped working.
OFF,
The manuals have helped a lot however they don't refer to the moog wiring on the bucket do I use the Racine or Bertea? The Racine seems to match the terminal boards within the bucket. But the Racine matches the control wiring closer. Will get the wire on order and rewire most all of the machine. Found a good source that is far cheaper than going through a dealer. Still will be quite a challenge but once done will be worth it.

I don't have any kind of 40F Moog basket diagram, but I do have lots of 60F Moog stuff. I'm working on getting some into digital format so I can send it to you.
Basic troubleshooting - start at the controller, make sure there is power in and a ground, then make sure there is a signal out in both directions and follow that signal down the path.

OFF,
Any assistance with the Moog info would be great. I plan to start taking the basket controls apart as I repair the box and rewire the whole machine. Will work on it this weekend if weather prevents us from traveling. If not I will get the wire on the way and get started after that. Any way to get an approximate year with the sn: 730226? Hope to get it all up and running to use for my project. I plan to repaint and will most likely sell once all is done.
