[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 37367, member: 26"] My Bobcat's right-hand SJC control has a bad control. 2005 T180. It's the thumb toggle "switch" that applies forward and reverse flow to the aux hydraulics. I felt it click slightly today, and now it sometimes will barely do flow in one direction, but will do full flow in the other direction. Few minutes later, the symptom has flipped to the other direction. When the finger toggle is pulled, I get full power and flow, so I'm certain the problem is in the thumb control itself, and the hydraulics are fine. I'm guessing it's a mechanical problem under the toggle. Of course, Bobcat only sells the entire hand control for $300. But, there is a screw on the front of the handle that most likely allows for disassembly of the handle and access to its guts. Anyone ever tried such a feat? I tinker with electronics a lot and am very comfy trying this, but I'd hate to open it up and hear little springs and detents hitting the floor. Should I remove the handle and do this on the bench, or is it really simple to get inside it? Anyone have a broken one I can practice on? Tnx, :-) ---RC [/QUOTE]
