Hey Folks, I'm new here. I hope everyone is doing well!
I bought a well used B7800 HST. It runs and drives fine, but the lift has a problem. It's pretty much either up or down. It hasn't failed to lift anything I've hooked to it so far, but it comes up real fast. And going down is like you cut the lift loose. In between is iffy. If you play with the lift lever you can get in between somewhere but it won't stay. It leaks down pretty fast, running or not. Sometimes I can hear a hydraulic noise like a valve bypassing or something. I can move the lift lever a bit and it stops and the engine gains power. One guy told me it was probably the lift proportioning valve and they couldn't be serviced, just buy new for about $600.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks!
