Bobcat 873 BIC controller

[Rchase]

I have a 1998 bobcat 873 with foot controls and the BICS controller is shot. Part # 6680446. This part is now discontinued, and I can't find it anywhere. There is a part available (6680411) but it says it's not compatable with my VIN number. Does anyone know if this part will actually work for me or know how I could find my original part?

There are a few warehouses that bought out old bobcat parts that bobcat no longer wanted to keep on hand. Call bobcat dealer of Janesville WI…they know how to reach the NOS source to check for parts that bobcat lists as NLA. Let us know outcome.

I was having trouble with my 873. It would lower lift arms, but not raise. Tilt worked both ways. Previous bobcat dealership replaced both actuators with brand new ones and still didn't fix it. I just got through having it converted to foot controls at a different bobcat dealership and it works great now. As a result, I have 2 brand new actuators for sale and 2 used ones that are still good for sale.
