Howdy bbforks and swoop223,
Thank you both for your neighborly replies. I should clarify the tilt cylinders do move in one direction (up). They will not tilt down. We can leave it sitting with the tilt up for a few weeks and it will very slowly bleed off to the forks lowering back close to horizontal to the ground. Both your suggestions are much appreciated...Jim
