lift arms bouncing/oscillating
Went to use the tractor the other day, had not been run since last year 'cause I had health issues. Needed to move a rake to a different spot. Lifts up fine, but when I stopped it part way up, it starts bouncing/oscillating.
I shut tractor down, checked fluid level, added some TSC universal hydraulic fluid, tried again, still bounces. The oil looked like it might have some water in it, so I added some Seafoam Trans Tune to try to absorb the water before draining it. I decided to drain the system, geez, it was the color of creamy coffee. I ended up draining and filling with new fluid 3 times ( warming up transmission between changes ). Oil looks pretty good now, though I intend to flush it again when this wind storm passes.
However it still has the same problem. I figure with all the water in I things could be pretty bad.
Any suggestions on what to try out before I start tearing it down?
Oh yeah, draft control is in up position.
