[QUOTE="groomergirl, post: 84275, member: 11981"] I bought a Bobcat 742 with the Ford 1.6L motor in it from a friend a couple years ago. It runs fine and I can scrape the ground but the bucket won't lift with any weight in it. The bucket will lift all the way up empty but put weight in it and it barely lifts an inch. I was told that the hydraulic rams were both rebuilt (that I believe), the hydraulic pump was rebuilt (this I'm iffy on), and I have had the hydraulic control block rebuilt at the Bobcat dealer. I have also replaced all the hydraulic fluid and line. I was wondering if anybody had any idea of what might be causing this? I don't know if the hydraulic pump was actually rebuilt and if it was they may not have flushed the system before putting it back in. Should I have the pump rebuilt or could it be something else?
