    816 hoist repair

    The motors and pumps are real easy to work on and the seals are O'rings. They are covered in the M543A2 manuals. Seems they left out all the hydraulic repair info when they build the 800 series. The manual covers a lot of stuff we need on the 816. TM9-2320-211-35 page 462 shows a complete...
