After adjusting the chain lengths to be identical and completely saturating with rust reaper, then reinstalling and readjusting, I'm not getting any of the chain climb I got before.  Somehow I've always had the idea the side mast slides and pads should be lubricated with transmission oil.  I just wiped a thin layer of grease instead on them with my fingers and that seemed to make a world of difference.  A hot battery makes a difference to.  Everything seems to be working good now. It does not go up near as fast as it comes down, but it may be going up better then it ever has.  I guess I'll know more when I get it back out and start sawing with it.

They want you to use transmission fluid because the grease will pick up and hold sawdust.
I use the fluid on the chains and slides.

may be a dumb question but are you calling atf transmission fluid?  My old manual says WD40 on the chains but they now recomend atf.
