Tilt noise

[Crunchy]

Any thoughts? The noise is coming from the tilt cylinder and is not from dry tilt rod ends etc.

If its just a matter of lubrication of the tilt shaft what is the recommended lubricant?

Thanks

Can't get the video to load up...I give up

Mine does the same thing sometimes under load what it is I have been told Crunchy is air pockets trapped in the tilt shaft. Not a hell of alot you can do about it really other the replace it. I am not sure if they do a seal kit or they come as a full unit.

What sort of noise?
Like a sprit, sprit, sprit like using a spray bottle?

Yeh well if I could get friggin YouTube videos to load up you could hear it for yourself...it's a dry graunching noise...I'm happy to try lubricating the shaft if I know what to use but given I've never had to lube it before I don't think that is the issue. The sound is coming from the cylinder

Yeh for sure, I'm not too perturbed about it though, been out a few times and it all works good as gold, just sounds a bit focked up...
