6653545.Standard lay up per the concesus on this site,besides leaving the drive on and outside.. The drive has pushed the OD up during the lay up months. About 1" as witnessed on the piston shaft. Last year at lay up I couldn't get the drive down that last 3/4" so I raised it and lowered it a couple times and got it down full.Do I have air or water in the lines?Thanks-B

the hyd systems is self bleeding so any air would bleed out with a few up and down cycles. might try an oil change and if that didint work maybe a skight adjustment of the pump reliefe valving

Gonna be a bit until I get the tarp off,but I will try to bleed it and check the relief valve at that time. What is the basic procedure for oil change(oildyne unit)? Thanks Doc.
