Bobcat 722 no start at the key

[Binford 6100]

Hey guys, I have a older bobcat 722, that randomly quit turning over, I thought it was the key, but that didn't do it. I know something is up with the wiring because it wouldn't start, and then u could bang on the panel and it would turn over very for a quick second. So something is in the wiring or switch panel.

I assume you mean that you've replaced the key switch and the problem remains. If that is the case, and whapping the panel would make it work for a bit, that indicates that there is a bad connection in one of the wires going to it.
If the warning lights don't flicker and come on as normal, and the engine runs without missing or stalling, that indicates that the main 12v to the switch and wire to the distributor are ok. That leaves the wire to the starter solenoid, which could have a break near the connector where it failed from normal vibration. If it's long enough, you can cut it back and re solder another connector on it and see if that cures it.
Another wire could be run as a worst case scenario. It won't be difficult to run the wire, but it won't have the protection of the original loom so you'll have to use a lot of tie wraps to keep it out of harms way.

Do you know where I can get a wiring schematic for my machine?

Nevermind. I found a loose wire. Bobcat cranks again.
