Rust!

The cylinder needs to come apart. It's likely the transmission/rear end top plate that needs removed.

A ball hone is likely all it needs. Those cylinder packing tolerate abuse!

Does the 3000 have a drop rate control? This is usually a knob located under the front of the seat.

Do you have any load on the arms?
