How old is the boom? read asplundh`s web site regarding boom age, this has been discussed here before........if its 15yrs or older it should be out of service!!
A local guy has an old utility asplundh bucket, 91-93?, I have told the operator when I see him at the store in the morning that boom is ready to go!! I cant believe you run that thing!!! Reply;(spoken in W.Va fashion) I needs a job(spit, mouth wipe) wheres else cans I go(spit, mouthwipe, adjust hat) I`s just doin whats I`s told to do!!
good luck on that asplundh boom & if its in need of parts........PUT IT OUT OF SERVICE!!!
