Can someone steer me as to checking the engine oil, changing it. Checking and changing the hydraulic oil. The lift drifts down when it is lifted to a position. My thought is a check value is dirty. Just some basic help. Thanks in advance...

Gerry,

Oil: There's a big cap with a fin in the middle on the pedestal above the clutch / pulley wheel. That's where the oil goes in. There's an 1-1/4 inch plug on the bottom, behind and to the left of the oil filter canister. That's where it comes out. If you look at about the 5 o'clock position from the pulley, you'll see a petcock sticking out the side. Open it up and keep pouring oil until it runs out this opening. Should take about 8 quarts to make it happy.

The hydraulic oil goes in the top plug under the battery box on the back, and you fill it until it comes out the opened petcock on the right side

The power trol problem could be a check valve or O ring on the plug problem, or it could be a bad gasket or piston seal. There's a test which involves raising the rockshaft, then backing out the valve screw. If the rockshaft stops then, you have a check valve or O ring problem. If not, you have a gasket or piston seal problem. Might be best to get a service manual before you tackle this job.

Adding to steve's post about where to check the oil level for the crankcase, there are two plugs at the 5 o'clock position. the top plug is a oil pressure adjusting bolt (long head) and just below to the left 1 or 2 inches is the oil level test plug (short head) open it with a 3/4 in. wrench 3 or 4 turns (the short head,not the whole body)----- walt
