That's good to know, thanks for the info topper1. Mine usually last doing it about 10-15 before it will idle normally

If I'm not thinking weong 863 has a power on relay that cuts the power when the switch is on. What year model and serial #. I will see if I have the wiring diagram. If it doesn't all you would have to do is add a relay to the switch side of the key switch to shut them down.

I have no idea!! I've reset it by the book 3 times, and even took all of it off and left nothing but the valve levers. It still did it. So I'm not sure what causes it. It's always forward on mine also. And I can feel a forward pull on the sticks when it does it. Luke Marko13 says, only when it's...

When you fiqure it out please let me know!!! I've had mine now for 6yrs and it has done since the day I got it. I've changed the hydro fluid and filters, rebuilt the controls everything but rebuilding the pumps. If it's close to 32° or less it does the same thing. But mine only will do it when...

I sounds like it's a temp thing more than anything else. You have a sensor or wire connection that is not making good connection when it got colder. It's also possible from what you are saying that it also could be a control board issue that colder weather has affected. You need to fund you a...

If your using the joystick buttons, there should be one that locks it on. There should be continously on button and momentary. You also may have to hold it just a second

Be sure and check your battery ground at the machine. It could be loose or not making good connections.

Since you said you did see similar post, then you know several people on here have had this same issue with that fuse. Most all of them have to unhook there temp sensor to solve there issue. It makes absolutely no sense why a temp sensor would cause a short and blow a fuse. Just like several...

We had a jd machine do something similar to that. Turns out the valve body was leaking by on the spools and the pressure relief valve was weak. It would drop as soon as you tried to raise the arms and then go up. If you had anything in the bucket, then it would drop and try to raise but couldn't...

Did that fix your problem and get you back up and running

Well good luck with it, you must have offered a price he couldn't refuse!!! Hopefully everything will go your way and you'll have a good machine. Post some pics of your journey for everyone to see. Good luck!!!

Sometimes you just got to do what you got to do!!!!

Exactly!!!! Pretty doesn't always get the job done!!

I installed a new bourbon tube temp gauge in mine so I could see what the motor was actually doing

No worries bud, I don't get mad that easy!! Lol!! I was being sarcastic. No nickel would be good, just like stainless would have worked. Just to expensive and not worth it. When I made them I never planned to ever use them again, but definitely not toss them. You never know???
