Had my Lx88five tilt cyl. rebuilt as they would not hold the load very long! Three hundred later they still tilt on their own. What's next? thx

I'd lean toward a valve leaking. But I am for sure no expert.

 

[Alaska-Rancher]

that would be under foot control, eh?

 

[leanin' H]

Yes I think. Those spool valves let hydraulic fluid go in either direction to extend or retract a ram. Sometimes they wear out and stick partially open and bleed pressure back. So the ram doesn't stay

how is the chance that the linkage is worn or that one of the springs that center the spool in neutral is weak?
