Hi guys. So my last post had 64 views but no replies. I have broke the chains that extend the fly boom on my manlift and I REALLY need to find someone who has experience with pulling the boom apart. I have decided that I can replace the chains and wear pads just by pulling the fly boom, a little tricky but can be accomplished. Problem is getting the fly boom out. From the diagram from the service/maintenance manual [pretty vague] It appears that the fly boom is in no way attached to the mid boom. We have pulled every bolt, shim, etc that we can find. With the boom level and supporting under the fly boom with a forklift we pulled the fly boom within a foot or so of coming out and it got stuck and wont go any farther nor will it go back in. That's using a 75 HP tractor and loader to do the pushing and pulling. I can't see anything holding it from coming out. Could it possibly be 27 years of junk buildup causing it to wedge or am I missing something? Really need some ideas, help or a contact person here. Thank's.
