Now it will not lower at all. I have good hydraulic pressure, any tips on where to start? Thanks in advance! [Reply]   [No Email]

It's also possible parts key #1 broke in 2nd photo. I've also seen parts key #6(3rd photo) break on one occasion. [Reply]  [No Email]

Look under and forward of the seat, and see it there is a black knob. If that knob is tightened down, it won't lower at all. If it has that knob, that's a good possibility of why it won't drop.
