What I thought was a solenoid is just a switch that tells the panel where the spool is at. It actuates a detent ball off of the spool. Pulled that puppy out and it has nothing to do with the spool not moving. The cable that operates the bell crank that in turn actuates the spool is free. With the cable loose I had to whack the bell crank with a hammer and piece of 2x4 and the spool moved. The machine is outside and it came up a storm so I stopped. My first thought was the spool is frozen. That doesn't make sense as it is sealed and has presence of oil. Thinking now the bell crank itself might be rusted on the shaft as it is exposed to all the crud that the skid steer sees. Hoping that is it.</p></blockquote><p></p>
