In order to test the gear on jacks I would have had to remove the hydraulic pump. Wasn't going to do that for this exercise unless the problem could not be found. I was departing for NYC the next morning so removing the pump was not in the agenda. I did use the hand pump for the last chase in this exercise but normally do not like to use the hand E pump for retraction. The gear pump removal and remount can take up to 4 hours. Just didn't have the time to do this for this type issue.
