    Altec boom hours question..

    So I’m looking at a few bucket trucks. They are davey tree trucks. Most of them have the lrv-55 boom. On the hour meters I’m seeing 3900 or 1600 (06 f750). There is only enough for four digits on the hour meters. So my question is... is this probably 11600 hours and 13900 hours on it?
