well, I think I need one. I found a JLG 40HA 4x4 for $3150. It needs painted. So far, playing with it, I can't make it move, but we did get the boom to go up and down and extend and rotate. To get it to do that, we had to do wire wiggles. It looks like a few wires are unhooked.... It looks like it has a duetz air cooled diesel engine.
I wish it did not have all that stuff under the basket(mount). Kind of hard to get down close to a roof..,,,
My buddy, who is not as electrically challeged as I am, seems to think we can get it working with little or no money,,,saying most of it's problems are corrosion related on connections.
I would like to check the drives before buying. How to tell if the handle in the basket with the "board" on it is good? Is that expensive? That seems to be the only place to drive it from? Is there a hyd valve to hit to check the drive motors?
What should I be worrying about and checking before purchasing?
