763 auxillary hyd/grapple

[southwoods]

just bought a grapple bucket for late 90's 763 that i've owned for abt 2 1/2 yrs. never tried to use frt. aux. hyd before. bucket was reconditioned by bobcat-knoxville. after attaching and attempting to operate, i get absolutely nothing. no lights/indicators on top right panel, no reaction when right lever buttons/ switches are pushed/toggled, no noise, no pressure on lines, nothin'. i've got an idea there may be a relay missing on lower left of engine(kubota). there are 2 different electrical plugs hanging loose in that area. any ideas/suggestions? thnx

Did you press the aux hydraulic putton on the dash? One press and one light should come on and allow the right steering lever to work.

I don't believe it does. It should have a fuse, but the relay is in the control module its self.

Oh, don't rule out the button on the dash. If its a BICS machine, box next to your seat with lights, the button on the dash can go bad. I had one that did. They use something like spring steel that when you press it, it makes contact with the circuit board. Mine had some corrosion, i cleaned it up and worked a treat.
