[QUOTE="jeffco, post: 26956, member: 2081"] They may be old but they still can have a mind of their own. I was using the method most Bobcat owners use to tilt the cab, be honest, a comealong and a safety chain so you don't go to far right. You should have seen the action while the engine is running, the cab slips and hit the control levers, instant reverse which allows the cab to swing back forward and as the levers snapped back the machine jumps forward and starts the whole thing over again. In 5 seconds the machine convulsed 3 or 4 times until I finally grabbed the cab and steadied it to stop the action. It was truely a site for my neighbors to behold. If they doubted before they are now believers. After the show was over I test drove the thing and the only problem is a slight creep on the right side but if you move the lever back just an 1/8 inch it stops so some internal linkage may have gotten bent. I guess thats why Bobcat uses some form of tilting mechanism. It's funny how strong you can be in an emergency, usually I can budge that cab. I'm on my way with the linear actuator, if it malfunctions I will unbolt it and tilt the cab but I don't want to replay what happened this morning. Just a word to the wise, I was really being careful to. Later, Jeffco [/QUOTE]
