i have a bobcat 530 that i recently purchased. i believe its the same as a post i read on this site from kdfergie? i've lost the hydraulics for the bucket and arms, but the unit drives back and fourth great. I was reading the other tread and also have the same situation with oil at bottom of case. i was wondering if this may have caused the problem with the hydraulics? when i try lifting bucket you can see and feel it try to but it only moves a little. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, Thanks!

are your aux hydraulics stuck on? right lever shifts side to side, make sure they aren't engaged
i check the auxiliary and its not engaged. i sealed motor and cleaned up the oil, no more leak there but the bucket and rams won't lift? when pressing foot lever you can feel bucket lift the front up a little but then it stops. the arms won't move up at all, but you can see them jerk a little. anyone have any ideals? Machine runs back and forth fine. Thanks for the response

open rear door fwd bulkhead has a valve mounted about two foot in on right side.. this is safety lock out valve. depending on s/n unit should also have a bics controller by youre right elbow when seated in operating position would suspect that valve light is flashining indicatining lock coil bad or wirining to same

The pump is shot.
