2005 T250 Engine runs but bucket and tracks will not move

[johnp19]

Hello, I just purchased a T250 that will not move. Neither the bucket or the tracks will move. The previous owner reports that he had intermittent problems where it would work and then other times where it would not. The unit has about 3000 hours on it and generally looks pretty clean, much better than most 2005's with 3000 hours. I have not had time to look at it yet and unfortunately do not have any other specifics at this time except that the engine runs well and the bucket is able to be lowered an inch or two after starting. I am hoping that it is a relatively simple electric problem Are there any "known" issues or common failures that I should investigate first? Does anyone have any recommendations for where to get manuals for the machine? Thanks in advance, John

What happens when you push the green button do all three little lights light up? Did you try pushing the yellow traction lock button then moving? I'd check the traction relay in the fuse box, relays can work intermittently before finally dying. You can simply swap the traction relay with the front headlight relay to test.
