I picked up a TD8e at an auction so no history. It has been sitting for some time and wouldn't start - no surprise. Pulled it off the trailer with my TD7e. I held the blade control back with a bungie cord so the blade could ride up as it came down the ramps. When it got to the point on the ramps where there was upward pressure on the blade, it made a loud pop and hydraulic fluid pissed out from somewhere near the tank or control. I haven't taken it apart to find the exact spot yet. I could see it blowing a hose or something if I didn't pull the handle back. I was going to put it in "float" but I needed to tow it and didn't want the blade to drop back down. Any ideas?
