[QUOTE="travski, post: 86823, member: 12302"] Farmshop you might be on the money. I had the top bobcat mechanic come out and he freed the float by freeing the bar that goes to the spool valve. the balls that activate it are corroded. Won't be using float again, major work to fix it properly. I got it to fail while he was there and tilted up while it was failing. he got a heat gun and tested both, the right one was way hotter than the left. He reckons it is bypassing through the piston, and that the piston might not be seated or done up tight enough. I took it off and took it down to the hydro shop for them to redo it. Should get it back tomorrow. Hopefully this will fix the problem. He has seen this type of thing before on a new machine. the piston isn't correctly tightened. I guess the only way to truly test a cylinder is under work conditions, they couldn't find it at their workshop. [/QUOTE]
