Hey guys. I have and old boom lift with manual controls. All my hydraulics work fine except the tilt. When I use tilt I can see the flexible hose that runs to the hard lines on boom move a little but not much and I don't see anything on the flexible hoses on mast to the ram. Am I not getting enough pressure? Do I have a block somewhere in line? I'm lost. I did crack hose on tilt ram and cycled it and saw fluid come out. But still nothing. We topped off with hydraulic fluid, was it wrong kind? Anything will help.
