The lift arms on my AC 5050 don't (lift )! The nearest (skilled) Allis Chalmers repair is 1 1/2 hours away. Before making that trip, I would like to make sure there is nothing I can do that could fix the problem. My issue is, I don't know where to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated. I can manually lift and drop the arms, and they will hold in the up position for some time, but any downward pressure, and they lower.

At the oil dipstick located on the RH top of transmission near the parking break.
