I was thinking that Also.
Is that not where the diverter pivots? Could be rubbing a little there.

My guess is that your reverse bucket is partially closing.  It is amazing how much force that can have on the diverter arm.

That broken diverter looks to be adjustment caused. If it tries to go higher than the mechanical limit this is exactly  what happens. Only seen it twice before.

Check to see where the ram stops at full up, then fill down and compare how far the nozzle can travel in each position.

That sucks.

When the reverse bucket partially blocks the nozzle, the force tries to trim the nozzle up, pulling down on the tiller arm.  Check your reverse cable and lever.

Given that the paint is all dicked up where the nozzle would hit if going to far up, I would say adjustment issue.

I pumped out about 3/4 of the oil but I can't get the last 1/4 out and my drain plug is super low in the haul and can't get to it to just let the rest drain.
