Well hmmmmm
Ok, I cant seem to get these arms to lift! A friend of mine whom owns a 50 told me to screw in the metering screw till it bottoms out. Did that and the arms still wont lift. Yes the arms are at the bottom of the stroke. I push on the lift and the hydraulics do want to return the handle to the neutral position. Yet zero lift, sigh.
The hydraulic reservoir does have oil, it is with in the fill pipe. I have loosened one fitting and hydraulic oil will stream out. The engine seems to load when I hold the lever in the lift position. If you lift the arms you will feel some initial tugging and then you can hear the little piston arm come out of its socket. Makes the same noise when ever you lift on the arms (even if your working the lever).
I am afraid I will have to do some exploratory surgery come this fall. Sigh.
