Message: <blockquote data-quote="Marv77" data-source="post: 125029" data-attributes="member: 22919">Hello there, thanks for accepting me on this forum.I have a mid 90s Bobcat 443 which has developed an issue which I think is hydraulics related, any advice or info will be greatly appreciated.To start with, inside the cab top righthand side there are two warning lights, one red one green - please see photo. Does anybody know what the green light indicates when lit? When I start the engine the green light is permanently lit, the Bobcat will not move either forwards or backwards, there isn't any movement whatsoever from either leaver when pushed or pulled. The loader will lift very slowly but it's very jolty. When I then lower the loader back down to the floor fast the green light goes out and for about 10 second the whole machine works absolutely fine, moves forwards and backwards on both leavers and skid steers, loader works fine, but there is a loud groaning noise coming from somewhere under the seat (not the engine) when the machine is moving. After about 10 seconds the Bobcat gradually stops moving on either leaver and the green light comes back on. If I then lift the loader again and then drop it the green light goes out and it moves for another 10 or so seconds. I have changed the hydraulic filter and filled it with new oil, this has made no difference at all.The engine itself is absolutely fine, runs well and starts no problems.Any help, advice or info will be greatly appreciated.Thanks, Martin.</blockquote>
