Hi all,
First time poster but long time reader. I recently bought a used TB138FR and it's had 1 known issue (lack of thumb closing pressure) and just recently developed a new issue (can't get 2nd travel speed to work correctly)
I'll start with travel speed as I think it's an electrical issue based on it's symptoms - light comes on sort of faintly when I use either right or left travel sticks/pedals but immediately goes off when not moving, when I depress the button the light gets brighter but does not "click" and stay on. Possibly related my travel alarm also stopped working at the same time as this. Is there a fuse related to both of those items that could be causing that? Any help or thoughts are appreciated
2nd is the thumb - aftermarket Amulet thumb, opens with some power but can't close the thumb with any power, as in I can't pick up even a small branch without it slipping back open. I thought maybe it was as simple as cylinder seals but there were no leaks or scarring on the cylinder. I replaced the seals anyway (had my local hydraulic place do it actually) but still no love. My 2nd thought is the port relief valve that controls the aux may be bad but I don't know how to figure out how to test or replace which valve it is. Any thoughts or advice is helpful. Thanks everyone!
