Hi folks! First off I have to say I am one of those people that hates when someone joins a forum just to ask a question and you never hear from them again. But, I have to eat crow and say, I am one of those people now. Long story short... we have an S175 at my site in the Upper Penninsula of Michigan that our parent company in Milwaukee gave us to use. It is our forklift, snow removal tool and all around well used skidsteer. It has about 2500 hours on it. Last week, the park brake would not release. I was out, but a co-worker stated he got it to release after "banging" on the metal where the seat sits. (Yeah I know....he should not be banging anything) It worked fine for the snowbanks the rest of that day. Yesterday we went to use it and it is stuck in place. It will not move forward or backwards. It is in a garage, but unheated. We would be really thankful if one of you nice people could tell us what to look for. Maybe a common thing to cause this? It has the green "push to operate" button, if that makes any difference. The light on the park / switch button comes on and goes off when the switch is moved to both positions. the boom works OK, (we were able to detach the bucket) it just will not move. We are about 60 miles from the nearest Bobcat dealer and we are hoping to trouble shoot it as much as possible before paying thru the nose for pick up and delivery. Also, we would like to get it working without having the one boss know there is a problem. He and our main boss fight over us having it way up here. One says it is a waste for us to have it and one says we need it, so, the less waves it causes the better Thanks for any and all advice in advance I also promise to not dissapear after just one post like a lot of people would do. Thanks Gary ps.....do not laugh at my lack of knowledge of Bobcat skidsteers....I admit I know nuttin'!
