Here is some food for thought ,,,, We work for a living and understand that the company needs to have those pumps working to make the wages and payments on the said machinery ,,,, if your boom is slowly dropping due to a bad holding valve or maybe a cylinder head is weeping back ,, at what piont due you say NO ???? I know the answer is RIGHT NOW !,,, but as long as the pump still works and the opperater is aware of the problem , should he go ahead and use it or ????

I hope no one on this site is stupid enough to say Yea, go ahead and use it.

Some say just use it youll be fine! Smart ppl repair their faulty equipment and avoid the lawsuits. http://www.pumpoperators.com/brian/ I love to pump concrete. It is in my blood. I will do whatever it takes to do the job right and safely! Almost 20yrs under my belt and still learning.
