As long as the subject is here, can anyone give some advise on a backhoe for a 05 S250. is there a certain size or model? Thanks

Does anyone have any good info on places to get used skid steer parts, almost like an equipment junkyard or something. Thanks Mike

I found the problem, there was a bad wire in the harness. The red and white which goes from the control panel to the key panel was bad. The break was under the center panel where it runs from on panel to the other. I imagine this is why I was getting only 2.7 to 5 volts at the key panel. Thank...

When I checked the harness going to the display (panel with key and warning lights) I could not get more than 5 volts. There was only 1 post in the plug with any power. Where the ignition (key) plugs into the display I was getting under 1 volt on one of the prongs. I checked the relays and I am...

I know this sounds crazy but I could not find one single fuse on the machine. I pulled both the side and center panels off (overhead) and there were none. I lifted the cab and also checked the motor compartment. Could you give me an idea where to find them please. Thanks Mike
