So i swapped the valves in the trans and now i have reverse but not forward. So i presume the other valve is not working. As for the hydraulic lift the inner handle actuates the implement lift. It looks to be stroking just fine but no movement on the lift. I dont know if anything on this machine worked when i got it. It was just a roller when i bought it and have been piecing it together. I am a stupid rookie mistake and while swapping oil pans forgot to put oil back in and ran it for a few minutes. Engines isnt noticably knocking but if u stick ur ear up close to the block you can hear some noise. So now once i can get the lift operating i will pull the engine and rebuild it. Granted it could very well have been knocking slightly when i got it i dont want to risk putting a window in the block.
