Hey guys. I really need some advice here. I have this Industrial 40, with a model 52 backhoe. Today, I cranked it up, drove a little ways and the left hand stabilizer arm was a bit low so I throttled up, and went to raise the stabilizer. When I did that, I heard a loud pop and was covered in hydraulic fluid. I thought a line had burst. But no, the entire stabilizer arm has cracked straight down almost the whole length!
I don't even know if I'll ever find another one around here, there are not a lot of MF industrials in the area. I've barely used it myself, as I've spent a while fixing issues. It's been cursed from day 1.
How does this happen? Wouldn't a pressure relief valve keep this from happening? Even if I find another one, I certainly don't want it to happen again. I would like to hear your thoughts on this.
