[QUOTE="Klima Excavating, post: 47625, member: 6204"] We did finally Get it to work. (Sort of) We converted our Bobcat laser grader blade to a 14 pin. We then got a 14 pin to cat 8 pin harness from Bobcat. We still had to run another positive wire to keep power to our laser transmitters constant. We added two hoses to rotate the grader blade from side to side using the two smaller hydraulic ports on our high flow 299c. Using the Eight function on our 299 turns the laser system on While you are in constant flow. We use the two right side buttons on the left joystick for one of the up and down cylinders. You also have to flip the seventh function switch to use the other up and down cylinder.(Eliminating two speed) You have to hold the left Trigger while hitting one of those two buttons on the left hand joystick to move the other cylinder up or down. Its kind of Mickey Mouse but it beats the hell out of that control box they were trying to make us get. At least it does work perfect with the laser recievers attached and the machine in Constant flow (Automated Mode). Altorfer CAT was really scratching their heads with this. I supplied them with the wiring diagram for the grader blade. With help of Ziegler CAT and the research we did we all managed to figure it out. What a Headache. [/QUOTE]
