PSYLVIA 2 #1 Posted April 19, 2021 I have a C160 with Hydraulic Lift. When I lift my Snow Blower it does not hold its position and falls back down, Is that the fault of the lift cylinder? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 23,279 #2 Posted April 19, 2021 It's possible. Something is letting the oil flow back to your reservoir. Bad "O" rings would do it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And the bummer is there is no easy way to determine which it is. Good news is that the likeliest cause is worn seals and they are available at a couple of this site's vendors. At least one will do cylinder or valve rebuilds as well, if that interests you. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PSYLVIA 2 #5 Posted April 19, 2021 I had the control valve rebuilt not that long ago for leaking. So maybe that would point more to the Lift Cylinder. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
