I'll chime in as well - went through this same dilemma when adding one to my shop. It depends on what you want it for and what your situation is. I am almost always working by myself. I mainly use the lift for routine maintenance and smaller repairs (exhaust, brakes, wheel bearings, etc) In...

Thanks for the tip, unfortunately no hits for 6679852 which is a 1st gen speed sensor.

I need a speed sensor for my early gen toolcat. There are backordered from Bobcat and AGA Truck parts claim they can one in about a month. Has anyone dealt with them before?

I just fixed this on my machine - check the resistance of the solenoids to find which one is shorted to ground. You should be able to just turn off all wheel steer instead of unplugging the switch.

Long story short (after switching attachments on different machines, etc) turns out the attachment side 7pin had a loose connection. Thanks for all of the suggestions.

I'm not an expert but here is what I know about the 7 pin: Yes, the 7 pin setup operates off of a CAN bus system (and is one of the reasons bobcat attachments are so expensive, b/c you need a controller to interpret the CAN bus signals vs something like a 14 pin connector that just fires 12v)...

Can you post up a picture of it? I was using voltmeter to see if 12v was getting there it was, now it isn't. I think harness, wire or controller on attachment.

Thanks, it's both the rotate AND the chute height adjustment that doesn't work. But the auger engagement does work.

Appreciate it, all pins looked good - cleaned with electrical cleaner as well. I'll get some photos up the next time I go over there to help.

A friend of mine has a '18 toolcat with an older 72" SB200 snowblower on it. When it's hooked up, auger works but chute won't rotate nor will the hydraulic cylinder operate. I began by checking for 12v at the machine 7pin, which there was. The bobcat CAN bus will send a signal to the control...

Thanks, I bought one a while ago - must have.

I have an A series but can't offer any resolution on this one...

Also - FWIW, on the toolcat the block is mounted upside down so you can't really see the nut/shaft which made this a bit harder to figure out!

Thank you - I removed the other solenoid to see how it was put together. Then I realized it was an aluminum nut. In short, I figured the nut must have been damaged or stripped. I pried on the solenoid and was able to get the nut off. Verified threads are good on the stud by using other nut...

Friends, Had a 50-56 error which lead me to finding a solution here - a solenoid on the steering and cargo box block is bad (almost shorting to zero) causing a fuse to blow, causing the error. My question is, how do you remove the solenoid? The nut is loose but it just spins. The top (or...
