    Best to post your serial number. Better to give more details like will or will not boom up and down. Does it swing, do the tracks travel, does it stick in and out, how is bucket curl in and dump. Did the problem start suddenly, or gradual. How many hours on unit, any previous repair history. Any logged codes, do you have any gauges or manuals? Have the hydraulic filters been changed, how dirty is the oil and how old, how about the suction screen, how about the pilot filter? More info could mean more answers. Simon C
