CASE 580 SLE Boom Ram problem

NoelM ยท 2013-08-05 15:39

My CASE 580 SLE is blowing the nut off the end of the rod that holds the Boom Ram. It has done so several times and I have no idea why it is happening. Can anyone give me any advice? Thanks

    You aren't torquing it to 975 ft lbs with thread locker

    Thanks Mike, the backhoe was in the hooked up position, the boom ram was under no pressure and it still blew the nut while it was under the hookup position. The arm was dropping on its own before I hooked it up. Have you any idea why it did this?
