LT40 super hydraulic forward / return problem

I have a 2001 LT40 SH that I have been working on to get back in working order (it had been sitting outside, not used, for several years before I bought it). Getting pretty close to being able to saw with it, but I am having a problem with the carriage forward / return system. It will only go forward (cutting direction) at full speed, and it returns at full speed (as it should). It doesn't matter what the potentiometer setting is going forward. I have cleaned all the contacts on the drum switch and put new contact grease on them and have replaced the potentiometer also. Occasionally, if the potentiometer is turned all the way down when I engage the drum switch, the carriage will not move, and as I slowly turn up the potentiometer, there will come a point where it acts like a switch and the carriage will move forward at full speed, but most of the time it doesn't matter where the potentiometer is set - it just scoots down at full speed even turned all the way down. I am at a loss as to what to troubleshoot next - any suggestions from anyone?Read More

Hi guys, Was thinking of pulling my Gearmatic winch off of my TJ240E, It's been giving me a bit of grief this year, purely because I don't use it enough.

Got it working again now, but I may yank it when I'm done for this year, just to try clean it up a bit. It would be so much easier to work on. I've had machine for 8 years now with minimal trouble with it, so cleaning it up wouldn't hurt I think.Read More

What is the grease used on the drum switches and is their a difference in the 2 switches. I received mine from Woodmiser for the travel and no grease included. The up down was working and now it does not.
