My 2003 MF231S sat in the garage over winter on the battery charger. Today, I fired it up and began mowing with the still attached flail mower. The mower operates fine as does the tractor but the rear lift arms are very slow to go up when the lift lever is moved. All was well last fall when I put the tractor away. This sounds like either the lift cylinder needs rebuilding or the hydraulic pump is defective. Any thoughts as to how to proceed to determine which has failed?
