[QUOTE="lesgawlik, post: 84181, member: 4115"] I would find someone who has a hot water pressure washer. Take the seat off by removing the four bolts on the side rails. That will five you access to the back of the instrument panel, the drive pumps and the control valves. One thing I just learned a few months ago about the 1816, after having the machine for years, is that there is a grease fitting at the base of the left control stick (as you sit in the seat). Failure to lube that will cause the co-axial shaft that is oriented across the beam of the machine and that "mixes" the tilt and lift functions to bind. Then weird things happen, like you go to tilt the bucket and the arms go up. Keep that greased. It is exposed to the elements, as it is a cutout in the instrument panel and has no real protection.
