ok i did a test on my lift arms. i took off the line closest to the engine and plugged it. i had the arms all the way down. then i tilted the pedal for the lift arms to see if any fluid comes out of the open hole. when i tilt the pedal to lower fluid comes out. it says in the manual to tilt the tilt pedal forward to test the lift arms. forum member says to do the test with the lift pedal. im confused now wich one to do. as i said i did the test with the lift pedal. and did get fluid out of the cylinder. ill post another about what machines symptoms are now.
