Please forgive the OT but I haven't had much luck finding any help elsewhere on the internet. I have an early 80's Ford truck with a Altec lift powered by a diesel generator Onan 4.0 Genset. It worked fine for a month and suddenly it started having problems. The main problem now is that the generator runs but the bucket will not lift. Not even grunt. If anyone knows a direction for me to start investigating or a source of info. please let me know.

Is the genset on of the compact ones that fits into a compartment in the truck body? Is it putting out power? They had problems with kritters getting into the generator and building nests. When the genset starts, the nest brakes the brushes.

You might check with your electric provider. I am sure that they have mechanics that are well versed with Altecs.

I work for an electric coop and we have 2 mechanics. Anytime someone stops by or calls, they always are glad to help. We are always getting info on our personal rigs from them.

They are easy to reach, just call the office and ask to speak with one of the mechanics.
