I seem to have started a Rumble!!!
the cut line is not the problem. Either they hung the track above wrong, or that old floor is really out of level. My bet is the floor is needing jacked and he cut it to keep the level hung door equal distance. any old level would tell that tale.
Nice to have a dingy on the deck. I delivered the sweeper and boom truck several times with my bike on the deck, and rode off to catch the train home.
It won't be water in it. Its possible that its the check valve, but in my experience its usually the piston seals.
Is this a cold weather thing? Your hyd. oil coming from the tank is 200 degrees. It will cool to outside temp as it sets. In cold weather you can see up to a couple inches of tip creep inward just as the oil cools.
The check valve should be right on the bottom of the telecylinder. You could try a new one- you don't have to pull boom to swap them.
You will have to pull boom if its the piston seals. Better get that 2nd crane bought so you have something to pull boom with.
