Does the boom extend and retract? Is it 2003?

Yes pal everything works just won’t drive

 

[Planttech]

Is it 2003? Didn’t think 38.13 was made until 2006 ish

will it freewheel if pushed in neutral? or even in forward or reverse

Seat safety switch?

 

[James scott]

Where abouts is it located pal

Does it have a rexroth transmission? If so there is a red emergency switch that will flash an error code

Yes it will free wheel in neutral and forward and reverse

You’ll need to get it pressure checked, I think either the roll pin in the selector fork has snapped or the gear has come off the motor

 

[James scott]

every now and then it will drive but only for a matter of seconds then stops

 

[asm]

In that case I’d say my above guess is wrong,
I’d be checking the inching pedal switch and checking error codes on the red switch in the back of the cab

Next to the brake pedal and the switch is at the top of the pedal

50p bolt caused that same issue in my 28.7 about 5 yr ago then
M8 40mm ish bolt snapped, drive cog dropped into Oil in bottom of that gearbox under boom poss where the 2 speed gear change is not quite sure.
needed new Gear as teeth was chipped & Labour was the as usual killer job was around £700 in the end. Cog was £120 odd
Just a hunch it could be similar thing thats all.

I don’t understand why it will drive for ten mins or so then sudden stop but will roll then won’t drive for at least a day
