I assume you have a problem that when You try to push the lever forward 
to lower it is hard to push.  The Liftall system has a ball that seats 
over the port to hold the pressure to keep the cylinder, etc. up.    
Normally it just takes a pretty hard push on the lift rod to get the 
load down, and it will drop suddenly for a little bit when you do.

To get it to retract you have to take the load off the cylinder and then sometimes loosen a fitting and let some pressure off. Usually it only happens when you leave the implement lifted for a long time. I've never known it to happen while in the field and lifting to turn around. I have seen it do it with 4 different cylinders, so I know that's not the problem, nor does it matter how heavy the machine you are lifting is. Is this normal for this early hydraulic system or is something in need of rebuilding?
