    New owner of a M 1084

    I think you may have switches confused. First PTO switch must be turned on. On the electrical junction box drivers side back is a toggle switch that has to be on for controls to work. I think the momentary switch you are talking about by crane controls is the battle short override.(momentary)

    Brakes "bucking" after stopped

    It is usually when a light changes and I can not make it thru light type stops. I can try stronger springs on throttle. Definately not cab air ride. If I am not on brakes hard it wants to push truck forward a couple feet.
