When I removed the plug, fluid came out (got a soaking) and the lift fell.
I ran the cleaning solution through twice and drawbar still raises to highest level as soon as I start it again.
It is now completely drained (no oil), and it holds the drawbar at level that I could pull a wagon with.
So, a few questions
1. Will I harm anything if I don't put fluid back in and hook up a wagon with very little weight and pull it around? I will not be using the hydraulics to lift anything. This is just a temporary setup until I can work on it again. If I put any oil in, it will likely raise the drawbar so high it will not be usable.
2. What are my next steps? I have the repair manual, but prefer not to just start taking things apart without knowing what I should be looking for. The disassemble looks straight-forward enough, but once all the bolts are out, which valve (using terms that correlate with the manual) should I focus on?
