Leak in seals , Replaced
Was able too move drive up by adding fluid ,
Release screw Rusted in place , Eventually flat head of screw stripped , Tried screw extractor , Nothing worked
Drilled it out, fluid came out , but not gushing
Drilling new thread I went further and fluid came gushing , Drive went down . Never had supports and never expected drive too drop that fast ,
No way one person is going too lift ,

Removed prop ,
jacked up little by little , while going up fluid is pumping out
Drive is now high enough.
I am able too open fill plug , put a plug in motor side , figuring with fluid drive will go. up so I can add supports and correct damage , I should have left well enough alone ,
Tuff working in place , might have too remove fix this one or buy a good working used , Any ideas

I would remove and send off to have it repaired if it is worth fixing.
if not, then find a replacement.
