If you are check the following. 1. With the GM3 seperated make sure that the spring has some compression. The uncompressed position should be 4 to 8 oclock. It should have a bit of pressure when it is at the 10 oclock lock position. 2 With the cylinder disconnected check how much force is required to break the overcenter. Again it should take some force. If the above looks good your problem is in the hydralic system and or its attachment to the overcenter.

If you are check the following.
1. With the GM3 seperated make sure that the spring has some compression.&nb= sp; The uncompressed position should be 4 to 8 oclock.  It should have=20= a bit of pressure when it is at the 10 oclock lock position.

2 With the cylinder disconnected check how much force is required to break t= he overcenter. Again it should take some force. 

If the above looks good your problem is in the hydralic system and or its at= tachment to the overcenter.

Good Luck

New guy here. I am doing the shake down inspection on
my new 360 and can not get the main gear to lock when
I open the dump valve. The nose works fine and the
left worked OK until I put new seals in the cylinder.
Everything swings very smoothly if I disconnect the
hyd lines. It seems to me that the overcenter springs
have no strength. I can easily move them and they seem
shorter than the ones that I see in some of your
pics.The hydraulic system works fine under power.
Everything comes and goes as it should in the
barn.Thanks. Jim@pt22_02557@yahoo.com
