The backhoe attachment in the pics looks just like my model 607 I use on my 753. I currently have hydrolic leaks on both outriggers, but can't get the pin out of the bottom to get the cylinder out to see where the leak is to repair it. Is there a 'trick' to it I have yet to discover? The top...

I want to thank everyone for all the assistance and information. I have learned alot from those who were kind enough to provide their posts. The solenoid wouldn't move on its own, no matter what I did and even though I did find a bulb (local electronics store) that at least fit the BOSS, I...

Thanks for the detailed post, I plan to work on it later this morning and will post the results. I know I'm going to have to make another run to the dealer for more parts, so I hope to get all I need in one more trip. Having a spare relay on board sounds like a good idea as well. I'll post my...

Thanks for the reply. I trust you mean the 3 pin plug from the fuel shut off solenoid . I did look behind the plate and the spring is in place and it pulls back to the right. After putting it back together it 'feels' better (moves more freely). It may have been in a bind at some point, but...

I disconnected the linkage arm to the solenoid. The spring in the solenoid seems to work fine, but the linkage arm wants to to stay vertical rather than freely move to stop. I can manually turn it to stop, but it returns to the vertical psition when released. The linkage arm doesn't move when...

Thanks Shane!! I'll try that. Have you thought of moving to TN? It isn't as cold down here as it gets up there and you already have a friend right here. I really appreciate the help!! I tried sending the following earlier but kept getting an error message and hope this one posts: Your...

I have power to the switch and can start it and operate it and the back hoe attachment, but I have to increase the throtle and manually hold the new solenoid off of the stop position. It does NOT turn off when I turn the key off until I pull the throtle all the way back. I do get auxilary...

It is a C Series with Rect Head Lights. I found the two fues boxex in the rear and all the fuses test 'OK', but can't figure out why the intrument panel won't light up, nor why the solenoid won't move off the stop position on it's own. The Instrument panel is in the upper-top-right corner of the...

It didn't actually 'catch on fire', the solenoid burned up and melted the end where the wires go in and smoked as though it was 'on fire'. I was on the back hoe attachment when this happened and out of view to the instrument panel, which doesn't come on now. Re-cap of my problem from the...

The solenoid actually burned up and was smoking. No fun. Where do I look for this fuse that blew? I took the advise of the former poster and hooked up the timer. I'm not sure I have the solenoid adjusted correctly as it doesn't want to start right away like it did before and then when I moved...

thanks for the reply. Will this correct the instrument panel?

Today my Bobcat caught on fire....luckily it shut itself off! I had to replace the solenoid fuel shut off and was also told to replace the timer solenoid which I also purchased. The "shut off" part went on like a breeze but I can't figure out where to put the "timer". It is a harness with two...
