I have an odd issue. A couple weeks ago the lift lock solenoid when out and I replaced it. The next day the left drive motor began squealing terribly and shortly after the lift tilt quit working and would only work when the parking brake switch was on. I removed the drive motor and had it...

Stopped and spoke with the dealer. The wheel motor has a 12 mo warranty but they need to check and install. I went through my processes with them and we dropped off the machine this morning. The Bobcat has them in stock so it won't be the 4 month wait we had last fall. He said they will...

I pulled the left wheel motor and took apart the shuttle valve. It was clean. I couldn't turn the motor shaft by hand nor with a pipe wrench, I'm not sure if that's normal or not. Since it was so easy to get out I swapped it with the right side but forgot to check the right side motor turning...

Last fall the left drive motor was replaced under warranty after a 4 month wait for the part at 1225 hours. It was grinding. Today I removed the hydraulic filter and found chunks of rubber hose INSIDE the filter. I asked my dealer service manager and he had never seen that and also said all...

Thanks for this! I had a basic understanding but the video helped flush things out.

I doesn't drop TO 50psi, it drops about 50psi to around 240psi. When you pull back on the deadstick (old aircraft guy) it actually climbs about 20 psi to 310 or so. This is all at idle. With the parking brake engaged the pressure drops when you move the right stick forward and back. I don't...

I just downloaded a maint manual. I'm gonna spend some time familiarizing myself with the drives and controls.

Cold start. Ran up to 380 then settled in at 370 for awhile. after about 20 min of idling its about 290. Find it curious when I push the dead left stick forward it drops about 50psi and when I pull back it climbs about 20 psi. Its been running 30 min with no M0514. Still have the dead stick...

This unit’s left wheels are not turning on their own. Right side works fine. All bucket and lift arm functions are ok. If I raise the front wheels using the bucket I can see the front wheel slightly move. The bucket functions on the left joystick work fine. Had no codes when I went to the...
