    Hello, Case 445Ct loader bucket tilt will not hold position. Settling is visible by eye without a load on it. I can tilt the bucket down, lifting the front of the machine off the ground, and it holds the machine solid. That rules out the cylinders which were rebuilt a couple years ago any way...
