    lift cylinders jammed bobcat

    Any chance you crossed the hoses on one side when installing cylinders? You could try disconnecting the hoses on one side and plugging them with proper plugs. Then try to lift loader This would tell you if you have a problem with that cylinder. If loader still doesn't function hook hoses up...

    Fuel shutoff

    Careful !! If you mix up your two power wires you will fry the solenoid. One wire is power when key is in Start to pull it in and another has power all the time the key is in on position. Takes more power to pull it in than to hold it in. Solenoid will not pull in in on position You have to...

    753 Bobcat will not lift and tilt-happened suddenly

    Are all your lights on the BICS coming on? If not you may have a safety switch malfunction or bad BICS module. Assuming you have already checked fuses and relays.

    T200 full forward or reverse stalls out

    Block rear of machine and use bucket to lift machine off the ground. With tracks clear of ground try spinning tracks in both directions. Maybe just dirt build up, or if you are in below freezing temperatures could be frozen dirt.

    Bobcat s150 backing plate

    I have seen a couple where it was hammered back in place, welded and then a piece of steel plate cut to fit and welded on the back side to strengthen it. I have also changed a couple and they cost me about $1500 Canadian with all the handles, springs etc. Advise changing the tapered pins where...

    1840 Case

    Actually it just came to me that the ground wire when installed would have gone to a surface mounted temp sensor which is grounded, so you don’t give a hot engine ether. I have a couple 1840 ‘s and I don’t use the ether start.

    1840 Case

    If I remember correctly one wire is power from push button and the other to ground. Install a block heater for cold starting. Ether is hard on the engine.

    Engine crank tries to start

    On startup the park brake is on so if your linkages are not centered, it is like pushing a drive lever forward or back with park brake on, which will stall the engine. Another issue with these machines is that if your battery voltage drops below approx 11 volts the park brake will engage...

    Engine crank tries to start

    Sounds like maybe an issue with the linkage or adjustment on top of the hydrostatic drive motor. If rollers are contacting the bar and centered so it is not trying to drive in one direction or the other upon startup you may have a more serious issue internally. You say engine does not want to...

    Only starts with a jump from battery charger. Case 1840 changed the battery still have to jump it to start. Changed the starter still have to jump it

    I have owned a few Case 1840 and 1845C sjidsteers. I currently have 4 of them. A common problem is not enough current from the ignition switch to the starter start terminal. The solution is to find the wire going to the starter under the seat. Cut it and install a solenoid switch or HD relay...

    Bobcat T190 Fuel Shutoff Solenoid not getting power

    Sokenoid has 3 wires. One is a ground. Another pulls the solenoid in with power when key is in start position and loses power when you are not in start position. The third wire supplies lower power to hold the solenoid in while in the run position. The piston coming out of the solenoid is...

    How to disengage the parking brake/traction control? 963C

    The solenoid will release the park brake but it is hydraulic drives so you are trying to force the drive motors to turn against the hydraulic system. Doesn't work so good.
