'48 8N front mount 6v. Sometimes the lift
sticks after lifting a heavy load (700lb
round bail). I have to raise it up a bit
more and only then will lower all the way.
It currently has the sae 90 mineral oil in
it. Not sure how old it is. Several years
at least if that makes a difference.
Today I cracked open the 3 hydraulic drain
plugs but no water seeped out, only oil.
There's also a leak somewhere in the system
because the lift will lower at a very slow
rate when the engine is off. Separate issue
or contributing factor? What say the
experts? TIA
