So i tarped the bobcat this morning and got it runing. After the positive post rubbed a whole in the hydraulics line a fire started. Got fire out and off to napa to replace a line. After replacing were up and running. Couple of questions. 1. Should my bobcat move with seat bar up? I played with the traction lock button but no change still moves. 2. Installed auger i bought last weekend to try it out. Auger will only spin one way, in reverse all rentals i ever rented spins both ways in case you get hung up. I assume i can switch the lines at the head of the auger but how to get it to spin both ways? Thanks

If the machine moves with the seat bar up I suspect someone has removed part of the parking brake.
The aux. flow should reverse with the button on the hand control as long as it's not set for continuous flow.
One of the coils on the auxiliaries could be bad or if it's been a while since they've been used the spool could be stuck.
