If your hyd pump failed and you had debris in the hyd system, a good flushing and filter/strainer change is the first step.
I would then install a gate valve between the hyd CV and the mast, raise the mast up 24" and close the gate valve. If the forks continue to drift down, you have an issue in the mast lift cylinders or valves.
If the forks don't drift, but they drift once you open the gate valve, check your hyd CV, (poppets sticking, etc).

Fact of the week
In May 2023, a Belgian Malinois named Wilson played a key role in the rescue of four children lost in the Amazon jungle. The young children were missing for 40 days after a plane crash that killed their mother and other adults. Wilson tracked the children's footprints, leading the military to their location.
