Lol, no kidding as it's my chip truck too! It's all still working sweet.

Ha, ya got that right. Although overall I'm not feeling to lucky with my new boom, couple of fairly major issues so far. I'd still buy again from ITE in a second though, real stand-up knowledgeable guy who's more than willing to help out however he can even long after the sale.

I called Lonnie at ITE(Iron Technics Enterprises) who I bought the truck from. Going over things with him on the phone made me feel confident that I have it set-up properly. Thanks for the number Brian of your tech guy and thanks everyone else too for their input and advice. I've run it now a...

No trauma happened to the boom to cause failure. I believe a lack of maintenance/adjustment to be the cause although maybe something in the old gearbox?

I see what you're saying, I'll have a good look at it in the morning.

Excellent. With this info and maybe a new gizmo tomorrow as well as hours of endless rotating in all boom positions I think I'll feel confident in the repair! Thanks Wally! And thanks for the paper clarification too Carl.

Much clearer than it was, espescially with the link. Thanks for taking the time I will inquire about such gauges at my industrial supplier tomorrow. So the side to side movement within the gear will be the backlash? Sorry if that question seems obvious, just wrapping my head around this.

It doesn't give a backlash spec, just that the .002 piece of plastic needs to travel through without being cut to pieces so I think you are correct that I'm looking for as close as possible so .003 or .004 like you said.

Yah I've got the high tooth gear(center punched three times, faint from a decade of being run over but six cans of brake fluid later it was the 2nd to last tooth I cleaned) and I've done my procedure from the manual to get the gearbox set-up. 1st time it seems dead on to me. Also I've run this...

In my manual it's quite a procedure to set-up. There is a 'high tooth gear' on the house bull gear, one gear that is slightly higher than the rest and the initial set-up is done off of this. It's supposed to be checked every six months. Apparently all booms have a high tooth gear for this...

I've been using grease, just normal grease to check contact so far. My boom(versalift vo255) calls for a .002 piece of plastic 2"x5" to be able to pass through the gears without being broken apart while rotating across it with the boom full extended horizontally(upper flipped over 180 and...

Ok. Many of you have probably read of my bucket truck trouble the last week and a half or so here. My rotation pinion gear (the small one that drives the rotation of the booms at the house) broke two gears off under no severe abuse or anything. It's been cold here but nothing ridiculous I was...
