I recently purchased a 843 bobcat. Machine had set for couple years negleted. Got it up and running, had to rebuild the injector pump due to leaks and the starter. Machine runs good and seems to have plenty of power in the hydraulics. What I am having problems with is the down control of the lift arms. When I push the left pedal forward I can not slowly lower the arms. Put pressure on pedal and then arms drop all at once hard until I let off pedal. Not able to "softly" lower. I dont see any kinkage binding but have not had much time to trouble shoot. Any ideas on what to look for? Thanks for the input and a great site for newbies like me.

Should have added that the bucket tilt is smooth and the raise of the arms is ok just the lowering.
