thanks mr. fixit for your help.

no, it was just a pm service and he guessed it needed a a job. it started grinding/pulsing and gradually getting worse until i called to have the pm service/get it looked at.

would forklift service companies give free estimates or is industry standard for a service call to drive out and inspect., no the service included blowing off filter with air and new oil filter, 2 hr labor at $170 (1 hour travel time) and tax and fuel surcharge.

thanks

I've also noticed a new issue, when in neutral, after parking brake has been enabled, and trying to go into reverse, its sticks or hesitates and then jolts and them moves fine from there out. is this connected to the brake issue/parking brake or a seprate transmission related issue.

this lift has worked fine for years and now that im starting to use it more, im noticing things!

i wonder if very very little use and sitting has to do with these issues?

thanks
