    Final test. Had a friend stop by and help test the cable..so now how to explain so it makes sense to you both. The cable moves in both directions and returns to center. Pulling up swings boom to the left pulling the spool no problem, pushing down the cable moves about the same distance as going...

    Ok i will recheck the clevis pin but am sure it is in place. When you replaced those cables the other day after installation were they hard to move. Mine works but is a hard pull or push. I do not have any manuals for my machine. I still need to get a friend to work the cable as i watch the...

    Ok Harley i will get a friend over to work the cable as i use a mirror to see if it will push in.. I am getting the feeling it is not the cable because the cable is mounted to a bracket just under the pedal. I did not remove it from that bracket but just the pedal. With a screw driver in the...

    Another guy answered and said i should try unhooking the cable at the pedal end and try moving it that way. When i was looking at the cable yesterday i noticed some of the outer sheath is coming off. So today will try that. Not sure how you would ever get in there to get that clevis pin out..

    Ok thanks. Will do. Hoping it is the cable not a valve problem. Though not sure how you would ever get to the valve end of the cable. So much stuff in such a small area

    Kobe. Progress I think. Got down and really cleaned the area where the cable and valve body come together. In the photos you will see a u shaped part and in the center the round stem coming out of the valve. Swinging left i can see the cable pulling that valve stem out. When i go back to neutral...

    Ok. I will get some plugs on monday and try that. Also thought after i sent that message that even with the cable moving the valve both ways i will try to see if i can hook it somehow and make sure it is moving enough. Cant remember if going right with the boom is pushing or pulling the plunger...

    Disconnected the hose with motor off. No flow. Started motor and engaged pump arm rest and had flow. Went from idle to running RPM and flow did not change.. Swung to left but would not come back. Just a guess but could it be a problem in the cylinder. Thanks for any and all help

    Thank you so much for the reply. Sorry for the later answer as i was doing a bit of work. Had to keep cracking the swing cylinder hose every 4 hours as it kept creeping to the left. took the side c9ver off and can see the valve. Looks like the one on the left of the diagram you sent. The bottom...

Sitting on the machine i can get the boom to swing to my left but it will not return to center or swing to the right. Traced the control cable down to the valve block and can see it...

    Need Help with Komatsu PC55 **Possible Hydraulic Issue**

    Wow this is spooky. I just had the same problem with my IHI 15NX. Used it one day no problem, next day backed it out of the carport, put the blade down to lift machine to wash it and swung the house around to lift the other end and lost all control of the boom and forward and reverse on the...
