4in1 bucket failure to close

Therapydoc ยท 2018-02-24 20:23

just bought a ford 575d with clamshell bucket. Uses twist a wrist to activate clamshell. It will open but not close. Do the cables stretch and have to be replaced that activate the valve or is there adjustment somewhere I can check ?

    I would assume the cable is adjustable. Pretty poor design if it isn't. Here's a pic of the parts diagram. At least if you find you need a replacement it'll give you the part number. https://partstore.agriculture.newho...758c096c&sl=EN&currency=#epc::mr54195ar323036
