Hi guys,
new to the forum I have been searching around trying to find a answer to the problems on my dads Jubilee. The last time he used it, he was blading his gravel drive (he said it was working when he parked it). A couple weeks later I went to move it and the lift wouldn't lift. I pulled the blade off and there is nothing. I lift the arms by hand and they just fall down with no resistance. I changed the fluid, tried to blow compressed air in the dip stick and get nothING. I pulled one of the remote plugs off and get fluid pumping out with the motor running. I am guessing the seals on the lift piston might have gone bad.
Next weekend I am heading down to bring the tractor home and tear into it. I am just looking for advise on what I should focus on. I am no stranger to a wrench but I am new to digging into this old traolder . If you where to rip into the lift system assembly what would you replace or is there a rebuild kit that has everything I need?
Thanks in advance,
Asher
