Green push to operate button bobcat B100

[pollymsmith]

My B100 does everything but forward or backward. The green push to operate button was frozen and possibly broke. I unplugged it and no change. Bobcat says that it is back order item, they don't know if or when they can get it. Any suggestions???

How does the park brake work on this machine? if it has a solenoid, it is possible it's bad and not disengaging the brake.

No brakes, hydrostat.

Correction, there is a pull brake handle but it would still go while it was engaged.

Could it be a charge pressure issue, maybe the torque limiter?

I honestly don't have a clue what your talking about. This happened before, it wouldn't move, we switched some fuses and it was fine. It was outside and got some snow and ice, started to put it inside and pushed the operate button, it was frozen and felt like it broke. I'm not a mechanic but I have changed the fuel pump and hydrologic hoses. The bobcat dealer in Columbus Ohio don't have a mechanic that has worked on B100 back hoe so they are no help. We bought new fuses and that wasn't the problem. My next step I guess would be to lift floor panel and make sure everything is connected and not broken. I was hoping for a simple fix.
