Hello Y'all,
New problem on a 2016 VMC 2003 model. For a while the tool changer became worse and worse for releasing tools until finally it refused to release tool all together. I assumed a bad drawbar so ordered a new rebuild kit (with springs) and got everything nice and clean and installed the recommended springs in to this non-locking spindle. The old drawbar was in pretty bad shape so I hoped this would fix the issues. Still I have to same problem. The draw bar is not pushing down far enough. I have proper air pressure and everything is assembled correctly. Is there something further up the line I may be missing like the pneumatic valves or somewhere an airline may be pinched preventing enough pressure? Has anyone measured the drawbar force or know what it should be? Too many bellevues maybe? Anyone have this issue in the past? I'm stumped. Thanks
