[QUOTE="bowste, post: 77813, member: 11147"] I was having a hard time getting the bucket on my Bobcat 710 to raise and noticed that the bolts holding the left pedal in place were loose so the pedal was just shifting instead of moving the linkage. I straightened it out and tightened the bolts, but now none of the pedal functions work right. The bucket dropped so the edge is straight down and the arms raised by very very small amounts when I pushed the pedal but nothing else worked. I tried moving the pedal to different positions and retightening and even using a pry bar to gently move the entire linkage in and out a little but that hasn't been successful either other than one time when I hit a sweet spot that dropped the arms. I looked out today and because the bucket is pointing down and the arms seem to have crept to their fully down position, the front wheels are up in the air and the unit is sitting on its back end (making the door impossible to open). Because it does leak a little, a few years ago when I first got it I saw some large 'screws' that looked like they were at/near the source and tried to tighten them. That caused the functions to be completely wrong and the tilt pedal actually raised and lowered the arms. Of course I was really adjusting something on the control valve and not tightening 'loose screws' and it took quite a bit of fiddling with them to get it working correctly again (but it has been fine since then until the loose foot pedal). I can't find any reference on how to adjust the pedals. Can I just put them where they have the best travel and then adjust the screws again? The problem is that I never really figured out which screw adjusted arm vs bucket movement, what direction they needed to be turned. or how much/little they should be adjusted at a time (a tweak, quarter/half/full turn, etc).
