L3940, HST BH, FEL, 3rd valve for grapple (installed by dealer)
During operation, I am experiencing random inoperative hydraulic functions. IE, the BH wont swing back to center, one outrigger wont retract, once the reverse pedal would not depress, and once I had very little engine power to make it back to the barn. It is like the levers are frozen in place. Then everything works fine? It started as a rare occurrence, but is becoming regular. It IS due for it's 500 hr maintenance. I am seeing a tiny bit of fluid leakage under the BH joystick station, to the operator floor. I removed the cover, but found nothing unusual. Wondering is the 3rd valve for the grapple could cause these symptoms? Any suggestions of what to look for or try?
