Forks ill not come down final level.

I have an old Baker and the hydraulics are woking fine in the raising and forward/backward tilting of the mast but the forks will not lower on the final piston and are stuck at about 6' up in the air. Any suggestions?

You have to find out if it is getting stuck mechanically or hydraulically. Most likely it is mechanically.
It is probably over 60 years old. Maybe time to upgrade.

Phytoplankton create at least half of the world's oxygen production, despite amounting to only about 1% of the global plant biomass. They also respond rapidly on a global scale to climate and environmental variations, so are often used as indicators of marine health.
