Now that I have the 863 corn head on the combine I guess I best bounce this one off the experts. Feeder house hydraulics bleed down pretty quickly after raising head off the ground. Not dangerous at this point but you can see it moving ever so slightly. Come back in half an hour and it will have migrated from full up to full down. Since I have not found an affordable service manual or parts book, could someone give me an idea of what might be the problem? These are big cylinders so if were just a leak in a line I think it would be obvious. I am thinking a leaky valve or bad O-ring someplace in the system. I can handle this if I have a clue where and what. Thank you!
(Hate to sound like a kid at Christmas but the 863 looks pretty sweet on the combine now that it is all straight and everything tight.)
