[climberjones]

Ive got a used f 700 with a 40 something boom can any body tell me if its a good boom system or if there is any recalls or glitchs i should watch out for? And i noticed that the hydraulics dont like to work in the cold do i need to put some special additive in the fluid?THANKS!

A terribly vague question. Not all versa's are the same, and they weren't all made in the same year either. Think about it

Have you changed the hydraulic filter? checked pump pressure? Fluid level? How many years has the fluid been in it? Is it the proper fluid? does it look clean?

YES checked all that but has a slow break fluid leak and i had it parked a while and ran out of brakefluid filled up brake fluid resevoir and hydraulics started working sounds weird but i think this one might have a safety feature that wont lrt you use the hydaulics with no brakes weird huh?

If all of the brake fluid ran out, it shouldn't be hard to find the leak...

Ive found the brake fluid leak i just hadnt realized the brake fluid level was connected to the boom hydraulics in any way till now but i think it is thanks!
