I called Ingersoll-Rand. The hoist was made in 1974. Since it was made
after I was born, I consider is almost new. The tech guy told me the
same thing as I was told here, most likely it is a bad, rotted seal
and I need to find out which one, and they will sell me a
replacement.

They have a replacement control arm for not too much (relatively
speaking -- the hoist cost me $35 and the replacement control arm is
$78), and the seals.

The hoist mechanism is operated by a piston that pushes on a reel drum that spins on a
ball screw.

Well, that would be all great, assuming I fix it.

I think that I found the problem, just now. One of the directional
valves had a rubber O-ring on it and that o-ring was loose and
disconnected from the valve where it should have been. I reassembled
the hoist, but did something wrong and it does not work right now. I
am sure that I did not position the special crosswise shaft where I
should have. Ingersoll emailed me the manual for my model and serial
number, I will print it and will find out the reassembly instruction.

The good thing about this hoist is that it is much lighter than an
electric hoist. (electric hoist weighs about 150 lbs, this one, maybe
70).

You have a mill and a welder. Make a new control arm. Save yourself $78
plus shipping and enjoy doing it.

I would need the drawing, I cannot make an approximately right control
arm.

The arm looks like this (if I look at it sideways)

Well, if I include the electric utility generator and wires, more like
1,000,000 lbs.

If I fix this ARO hoist, I will sell my Dayton 110v 4000 lbs hoist
(same as yours). I think that your price is realistic.

Ah, but you're smarter than the broken parts, Ig. You can dismantle it
and see which way the ~~~ moves to actuate the mechanism and design a
new arm in minutes, right? Does it rotate on a vertical or horizontal
plane? Design arms to fit with proper ends for the actuator you plan
to use. No worries, mate!

So you cant figure it out? Think of it as a math problem.

It has to have precisely the right shape, or else the overtravel
protection will not work. And I do not know what is the shape
exactly. Spending $78 on a replacement is a no brainer.

Well, if one spends his time productively (like repairing a hoist in 2
hours instead of 10 hours and possibly breaking it due to overtravel
of the hook), it could possibly result in greater monetary rewards
than making a part without a blueprint or the original part.

True indeed. And if one doesnt stick his hand in the horizontal miller,
he wont lose any fingers either.
