Hydraulic arm WON"T MOVE!

[iamtex123]

Hey guys I have a Takeuchi tb035 that use for digging around my property. Yesterday I cranked the unit and it worked great. I drove it down my hill, shut it down, and upon restarting my arm no longer had any lift or movement of any kind. Any sort of a switch that controls when the arm will or wont operate?

The red arrow is pointing to the arm control box. I normally have to have it boosted forward with shims for the arm to engage but couldn't succesfully do so yesterday. Any suggestions would be welcome! Thanks so much!

I bet a selniod (sp) sticking, let it run a few minutes then try it. sometimes restarting it will help

If it has cables to the valve it might of came off. Did you pull the boot off and look?

Maybe the safety switch you have been engaging by using shims has either failed or has move too far out of position for the shims to help actuate it. That is where I would start looking.
