[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 8418, member: 82"] From my experience the seals never seem to go THAT bad if its a piston seal. The internal clearance is pretty small and even without a seal it will still provide decent down pressure. With you pushing say 16GPM into that cylinder you simply will not be able to get that mush by-pass between the piston and the housing. With that said, un-do the bobtach end of the cylinder, extend it as far as it will go. Remove the hose from the tube line that connects to the gland end of the cylinder. Plug the hose that you removed leaving the cylinder end open. Run the machine and try to push the ram forward, no oil should come out the ram, if it does you have a seal issue. If the seal does leak i still do doubt its the primary problem, it sounds like a stuck relief but i thought the lift arms were the only ones to have their own relief valves attached (other than the main one).
