I noticed that the hydraulic tank cap didn't look like it was on right so I took it off to make sure it didn't get water in the tank from the rain we had this week. I looked down in the tank and didn't see any oil, so I shook it and still couldn't see the oil. I thought surely it didn't take the 2 gallons of fluid I put in it to charge the system but I went ahead and put another gallon in it and let it sit for about 4 hours. I started it up and it has great power. No squalling whining or anything. Everything appears to be working well. So I guess when I put the pump in 2 gallons of oil was enough to run the lift but not enough to run the tranny. I can't believe I was ready to take it to the dealer because I didn't have enough fluid in it! I can't thank you and this forum enough for helping get this going. I would have spent thousands on my machines if you hadn't supplied me the knowledge to do the work myself. I think I will be able to have it completed and put to work in about 2 weeks. Thank you again for all of your help!!</p></blockquote><p></p>
