I just got my Dad's 1955 TO-35 running after it sat in his machine shed for 10-12 years. Replaced the points, plugs, wires, roter and dist cap. Cleaned a bunch of varnish out of the sediment bowl and fuel line and filled the gas tank with fresh fuel. Feathered the choke and got it to fire up and run poorly but running none the less. I think the carb is due for a good cleaning. Since the oil and water levels are fine, although they need replaced, I drove it around the lot for a few minutes with much satisfaction. When I stood on the lower arms to add some weight, we raised and lowered the arms. They lifted my 230 pounds easily enough but I could feel through the soles of my feet that the lift was not very smooth. I could feel hundreds of small micro-pulses as it was raising. I assume from the hydraulic piston pumping fluid. My question is whether these micro-pulses are normal or is there a problem with the hydraulic system? My brother said that the hydraulics were "weak" the last time he used it over a decade ago. Should the hydraulic fluid be replaced? Any help is much appreciated.
