[QUOTE="BeechDriver, post: 123072, member: 22500"] Yes, more information would have been better upfront: Bobcat 1998 F Series 753. I bought it at auction, sight unseen, mistake. It’s a complete basket case, but it was very cheap. I’ve just decided to bite the bullet and make it right. I pulled the engine and pump. So far, and I’m a long way from done, I’ve replaced the following: Battery Battery cables Drive, fan, and alternator belts Radiator fluid Radiator hoses Engine oil and filter New gas tank, bushings, fuel sender pick up tube, screen, and return line All new fuel hoses and primer ball Hydraulic fluid and filter ALL the hydraulic lines New wheels and tires Rebuilt both drive motors Replaced all the steering bushings New steering handles and grips New steering shield New pintle shaft seals New glow plug and light switches Installing an LED light bar on cab New seat All new Bobtach bushings and pins New air filters Lots of small small odds and ends As brackets and parts come off, I’m media blasting and powder coating them. Eventually I’ll have a dustless blaster come and take the whole thing down to bare metal so I can paint it right. The wiring is a mess and I’m struggling to understand it. At some point someone was cutting wire, making connections that don’t seem logical and I can’t tell if the rest was chewed up by mice or someone used a handsaw and started hacking away. It has the BICS system in it with a seat override. It isn’t working. The machine won’t move forward or back and the arms and bucket don’t move either. The seat override light flashes steady. Yes, I bought a new seat sensor, dismantled the entire seat assembly, cleaned and reinstalled. Still nothing. The backup alarm wiring at the speaker was cut and obviously hasn’t worked since I got the machine. In my endeavors to figure out the wiring I see the switches and wiring harnesses for the system. I hate that beeping sound. I don’t plan to do jobs other than my own work, so I really don’t want it. Getting rid of the entire system would be my preference. Clearly, not at the expense of other things not working as a result. Also, this is my first machine and I don’t know anything about it. Any tips or advice is greatly appreciated. [/QUOTE]
