: : If I pull the handle to make the loader go up it goes slowly. If I pull the lever about 1/2 way, it goes as fast as you woul expect. Also, if you put the bucket all the way up, it will come down on its own fast enough to see it then it slows down, then it will drop fast again. It seem to have certain spots were it willcome down, maybe a foot in a couple minutes. Can be handy for setting poles by yourself, but hell if your trying to work out the bucket.
: :::Some thoughts, the spool in the valve may be out of position, so that when you pull back 1/2, its fully open, then actually begins close itself off the further you pull back. Then, when in the neutral position, the spool might actually be slightly in the down position. If the piston seals are bad, it would come down on its own, and if there is any trapped air in the cylinders, when the air slips past the bad seals, it might suddenly drop a little. Just a wild ass guess. Bonehead
THANKS FOR YOUR HELP!!!!
