So my city bought a older Bucket truck and the bucket system shows to be made by Baker. It's a model 5065. Anyway the problem is that the controls in the bucket are hydraulically connected to the main control on the tower. And it's seems that the hydraulic pilot in the bucket is hung and causing the control in the tower to act up. For instance the boom swivel is constantly turning right. I switched the small hoses at the bucket control and now it just turns the opposite direction. When you disconnect the hydraulics at the bucket control the tower controls operate the unit normally. Here is a picture of the tag on the bucket control. I wasn't thinking or I would have gotten more pics of the entire unit before coming home. I've never seen controls like this before, most are electric over hydraulic. This unit is hydraulic to hydraulic.
