sounds like one of the sending units censers are acting up . I would start by Try unplugging the oil pressure censer

could be stupid simple like the foot brake is stuck .auxiliary hydraulic is activated.chain binded ,plugged up screen filter.Good luck

Thats a good thing that the sensor detected a problem and locked the machine as it would be into the thousands for repairs if it hadn't .New fluid and filters It should be a good machine for quite a while know.

Hopefully you just blew a line?The only way to raise the arms would be to remove lines on cylinders and jack it up! Most skids you can lift cab with boom down.

check to see if the universal came apart between motor and pump

I remember purchasing my first bobcat. i figured i would let the supposedly experts dealers do the repairs on the machine !one of biggest mistake i ever made .brought it in for new seals on the drive motor . 1300 dollar for a job that took them 3 weeks and i scheduled for that time! The seals...

There is quit a few reasons why there is no start. you have to eliminate the simple thing first? Leaking fuel inj, fuel pump screen clogged,Even a barley loose wire on the starter could have huge effect on start up! You will damage the eng with a broken timing belt?

The 863 engine has the dreaded deutz timing belt! I Would take the cover and check to see if it jumped or damaged? .

Sounds like a faulty switch . Those activating switches get pushed at least a dozen times on every use of the machine

when you say lock up do you mean no hydraulic functions at all or just the drive locks up .If just the drive its sound like the brake solenoid is is activating back to lock. There is three wires to the solenoid itself one to activate and one to hold . does the green button working ok? its...

kubota has the half inch hose to tape into. Not sure about the yanmar but case or perkins eng there are allen head screws into the block its usually right near the water lines on most deisel engines you just screw in and 1/2 or 5/8 and your good to go .

Bobcat brand is basically Mobil with anti foaming agent mixed in without the mobil name on it. ? It get cold but what about summer months any mobil motor oil is fine in non detergent form. For free it works even better.

I worked on a similar machine .like mentioned above loader parts has replacement pumps for the machine at a decent price

Do what Tazza recommends never use hydraulic oil in a hydrostatic machine the weights to thin. You should tally up and pay for bobcat brand fluid or case which both have anti foaming agent,s and is excellent . or non detergent motor oil 10-30 or 40

Did you run it dry?Try cracking #1 full injector and see if you have diesel coming out.
