The bucket uncurling is either bad seals on the tilt cylinders or the valve not holding pressure. It sounds like you are in float mode if the boom is following the contours of the ground. When you push down all the way, the pedal should latch into a detent for float. Does the boom stay up if you raise it a few inches? The final drive gear boxes are lubed from the chain case. The chain drags through a trough of oil on the bottom of the chain case, and drips off of the chain into a funnel that weeps oil into the chain case. There is then a weep hole out of the gear case that returns oil to the chain case. there is an allen screw on the side of the chain case near the front on each side. With the machine parked level, fill the chain case til it starts running back out of that plug. If you think that the gear boxes may be low, you should remove the access covers to the chain case and fill the gear boxes through the vent elbow until you get oil running back to the chain case. If you go to this trouble, clean the trough while you are in there, and replace with fresh gear oil.</p></blockquote><p></p>
