[QUOTE="skidsteer.ca, post: 28966, member: 307"] Have you checked with a dealer to see if they can put the older 14 pin bobcat harness on the blower? If you don't already know, you should also check to see what pump size in gpm the blower was set up to be used with too. I take it that your loader is hi flow and that the blower came off a high flow machine? Fyi our std flow blowers have 5 motor sizes for the fan and 2 motor sizes for the auger which is taylored to the loaders pump. As far as the hydraulic chute goes, you may be able to wire that valve with basic 12v dc current, worse case would be you buy a aftermarket valve and throw the proprietary Bobcat system in the trash. (ebay) Surplus Center or Princess Auto can help you with a valve if it comes to that. Roughly 300 to 400 plus any necessary plumbing mods. Strangely Bobcat is the only manufacturer that insists on this wiring nonsence, everyone else uses normal 12v dc. I'm surprised more customers don't boycott their attachments because of this. Ruins the resale to many potential customers and compatibility with other carriers. Can you post some pics of the valve. How wide is the blower and what machine are you putting it on? Do you know what year and model machine it came off of? The 3rd smaller line from the blower is a case drain and must be conected to the reservoir so it can return a small volume of fluid to the tank but cant be conected to a line with any back pressure. On my NH it simply T into the case drain ffor the one wheel motor, but you might want to ask bobcat where they generally conect it Ken [/QUOTE]
