Sorry, work three jobs so I didn't have time until now. To answer all the questions, we did buy the lift. Got an extra $1000 off! It is old, but seems to run like a champ. We did fix the tensioner spring which didn't break but wasn't on correctly. It doesn't drag as much now but does have a problem braking still. You really have to push the pedal and it will finally lock up the wheels. We think it may be the slave cylinder??? We don't use the lift much. We have a really small business that we only need it on occasion, but is better than renting one. I actually had posted on another thread and had an answer back the same day which helped me make my decision so I was a bit surprised when 5 months later people started responding. Thanks for the feedback and if you have any idea why my brakes still are having issues I would greatly appreciate it.
