    I am a 1966 model.and sometimes I have trouble lifting my leg too. Have you gone through the basic checks. I mean a test light check from the dash to the tilt 1st. If you are getting power all the way and the solenoids/relays are working I would be looking at tilt motor brushs

    Welcome to the forum.

    ******?

    Seriously, buy the manual for your drive and go through the drive trouble shooting section, which will have you look at the electrics, hydraulics, etc. Could be as simply as the reservoir having no fluid in it or a blown fuse, to a leak, maybe a broken wire, but it's a lot easier if you know about the system and related elements. It could be one of several things, so figure out what part of the system has crapped the bed, first, so you can narrow your search.
