Hello, everyone. I found this forum when I was sent pictures of a free manlift that I thought was a 40F when I tried to match it up to internet pictures. Now that I have it, it turns out to be a 42C. It has been sitting for some time and has all the normal issues that you guys are probably used to. It has a 3cyl Duetz air cooled diesel. Ive have that in running condition now. I brought the engine up to governor speed and it started dumping hyd fluid from the solenoid valves on the left side of the machine (same side as the injection pump and ground control switches). I found two bolts missing that hold the lower half of the valve assembly to the upper half. The bolts are allen head, maybe #10?, that are installed vertically. I found one of the bolts on the ground under the machine broken off and the other had just a broken piece in it but no sign of the bolt. I hope this isn't too much background....
I removed the valve and disassembled it. Some of the O-rings are formed in the shape of a teardrop (either by design or age).
I guess what I'm asking for is the same as everyone, please: any insight to my immediate problem, how to source parts (I can't find a brand on the hydraulic valve to source seals), electrical diagrams, manuals, etc. You guys know the drill....
I own an auto repair business and have the skill set for testing and repairing a machine like this but I fell from a ladder a few years ago trimming trees (I didn't have a manlift- LOL) and am now paralyzed so access to some of the stuff to work on it sometimes requires a helper so if you tell me to test something I might not be able to get it done right away .
I don't have very good pictures at this point but can certainly take others if needed. I'm not actually even sure if my efforts to attach pictures worked.... so we'll see.
Thank you,
Jeff
