Hi there. I've never posted but have been reading for years.
I have an 8N that has a problem with the lift. Last year at the beginning of the season it didn't work initially but once it started it kept going for the whole season. This year is seemed to be the same but only started to work after I removed the load. Anyway, I took it in to the local dealer for a transmission oil change (creamy oil) and they are reporting that it isn't working at all and mentioned that they will try it for a couple of days to see if the seals will expand and start working again. I checked with them yesterday and apparently it still isn't working but they will keep trying.
I have a feeling that I'm going to get it back with new oil and freshly flushed but without a working lift. Is it possible that it has really failed or could it be that it needs to be primed? Any troubleshooting hints would be appreciated.
Thanks,
JF
