The machine has foot controls and when using the left pedal to lift the booms I get very slow movement. I have taken the control valves out from the back and overhauled with new seals, still the same problem. The machine drives fine and the bucket tilts and dumps no problem. The lifting boom is erratic and lifts extremely slow whether the bucket is full or not. This problem arose and I suspected the control valves so I overhauled, no change. Weird thing is if I have the bucket tilted down and lift the boom it moves very slowley, if I tilt the bucket up at the same time the boom flies up. If the bucket is tilted part way down and full the lifting boom is slow to lift and if I again tilt the bucket the lifting boom drops to the ground?? Any ideas?? This machine is old but fairly reliable! Thanks</p></blockquote><p></p>
