In Reply to: Re: Peculiar hydralic behavior on 86 Ford 555B posted by rick on Friday, October 31, 2003:
Thanks for the reply. Since the posting I've discovered what 'may' be the problem. The linkage
to the stabilizer has some play in it. If the lever is nudged to the rear (i.e. extend or deploy the foot) it begins to slowly (and I do mean slowly) extend. When operating the machine this lever gets josled (can't think of a better word) to this new position and so begins the 'inadveretent' deployment of the stabilizer.
I will examine the linkage for play and the interim cure is to hold the lever in the retracted position with (don't cringe) a bungee cord or somesuch. Otherwise the machine is well behaved and performs.
thanks, jim_b
