BH92 Backhoe Stabilizer Arm Droop

[John E. Law]

I have noticed that the right side stabilizer arm for the BH92 backhoe drops down to the ground overnight after use. Is this normal or is this telling me there is a leak somewhere?

Not normal, kinda nice to have an automatic parking brake though
#1 cause.... probably the ram seal(s) is shot
#2 cause.... spool valve sticking 'down' ??

#3 possibility…. Control valve for that stabilizer has greater than average leakage through it. Wonder if you could swap hoses between the two control valves and see what happens?
