Cab on my 643 is super heavy to lift - can gas springs/dampers quit working?

[QUOTE="ByggareBobby, post: 133639, member: 24360"] Hi friends, The cab on my 643 is super heavy. It's extremely hard to tilt it even by two full grown men (jokes welcome 😁). There are two gas springs/dampers, one on each side of the cab. Se picture below. I've also notised that some models have a horizontal "spring" between the chassie and cab back window. I guess it's for assisiting when tilting the cab upwards? I can't find such a spring on my 643 though. So, I wonder if the gas springs/dampers might be bad (out of gas?) and don't assist in tilting the cab anymore? Anyone had this problem before? This machine is quite old and prob. from early ~1980 something. Cheers to ya' all! BRs /Stefan @ Sweden [ATTACH type="full"]5935[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]5934[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
