The story that is told to me is that the machine had an engine put into it by the mechanic that worked for the company at the time and has since had no real lifting ability. Playing with the auxillery hydraulics and holding the control switch to the left seems to give if better pressures. The Bobcat dealer seems to think that the control valve is cracked internally and allowing pressure to bypass internally. Also the park brake doesn't hold the machine. Tbe dealer is recommending both drive motors. I am seeing a couple posts on here referencing that the brakes can be rebuilt. My thoughts are that the 2 issues are probably related somehow. I am waiting on a service manual to arrive from ebay, but in the meantime throw it out there to see if anyone has any prior experience with these issues. I am a master ASE certified auto tech, but have little experience with Bobcats in general.</p></blockquote><p></p>
