Can any of you guys tell me what this marvelous little mystery part is/does? The dotted line part inside the red circle. I have not dug through every page of every manual yet, but I thought it was interesting that this is the only part on this drawing in the -34P without a number. Even the bolts and gasket have numbers!
It is mounted to the top of the swivel assembly under the boom. The single wire was not hooked to anything, but it makes me think it was some kind of pressure(?) switch that would provide a ground for a light somewhere in maybe a civilian(?) application of the boom? The M819 does not have any lights in the crane operator cab that I know of, and it would not make sense to have a light in the truck cab that nobody would see...
Apparently, it decided to spring a leak out around the wire grommet.![Frown :( :(](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
