how hard is it to change the bushings in the boom??? i need to change the bushings inbetween the 1 and 2 section?? My truck is a 1990 32M

It can be pretty hard depending n if it was greased properly throughout its life cycle. Hey if you need help contact Wayne at Vista Ridge 972-316-0148. They do full service on pumps. He may also be able to give you some insight.

What are the symptoms of bushings gone bad on the boom?

JOhn,

Did you ever get this resolved?

Seed my 2nd section moves side to side about an inch or two. While me 1st section doesn't. Russ i talked to our mech and we are going to fix it when it warms up a little. he said it wasnt a big deal. but what i was wondering do i unfold the boom to do it or leave it folded??

Do it with the boom in the cradle ie folded up. Try putting extra grease in it to see if the movement is more pronounced. Sometimes if they are under greased and not yet bad that will solve the problem.

Hey Russ i put a lot more grease in them and they work a lot better! thanks for the help!!!!

Good Deal JOhnThomas,

Back in August I ran a Scwhing that the 2nd section joint howled the first time I ran it. I put a ton of Lithium grease in their and worked it back an dfourth. Saved the pin and stopped the howling.
