main cilinder in mast (# D-30389) does not lower, unless i add about 130 lbs of weight

I removed the chains and the carriage lowers with no problem, the cilinder does not lower i disconnect the hidraulic hose from the control valve and the cilinder itself, and it will not lower i have to add weight in order for the cilinder to lower, Is there a check valve inside the cilinder? or is the packing keeping it from lowering?any suggestion before i repack the cilinder? it lifts ok and does not leak.....

i found that the pin holding the check valve inside broke damaging the gland and i had to replace the cilinder shell and the gland at the bottom it works great now

Fact of the week
In March 2002, identical twins in Finland died on the same day in similar accidents within hours of each other. A 70-year-old man was killed by a truck while cycling; hours later, his twin brother was killed by a truck on the same road, about a mile away, before the family had been informed of the first accident.
