Spool Lock Solenoid

[Roderick]

Does anybody know where the "Spool Lock Solenoid" is located on an 863 G series skid steer. Also, what does it do. If anybody knows, thanks.

The spool lock sol. for that machine are on the control valve towards the front of the machine. They will be inline with the linkage that goes to the Lift and tilt. They should have 1 black wire. A 1" wrench fits them and they are about 1.5" tall.

Are you talking about the BICS valve solenoid? The one that controls the lift arm and bucket from functioning before you put your seatbar down and press the green button?
This is where it is on my 963 and 763.

No that is the BICS lock. He asked for the SPOOL LOCK. There in one on each spool towards the front of the machine on the control valve. The BICS solenoid is a plastic sol. with 2 wires coming out of the side. It is held on by a cap with a 3/4 hex. It will be pointed towards the Left side of the loader.

So what does a spool solenoid do??? Does that work together with the BICS system???
