    T450 Skid Steer Lift Arms & Tilt Lock Up

    Cannot say why you are not seeing a fault code but when the valve light is flashing means the main controller is detecting a fault. The number of flashings between a slight pause. A steady flash (1 blink then pause) indicates open circuit in the power output wire. Keep in mind there are 2...

    Rear wheels not engaging

    When warning light comes on there should be code. DO NOT turn key off or push stop button before pushing the "hold for code" light button. There is only one brake line output from valve then tees off to front and rear brake. One axle cannot lock up hydraulically without both locking up.

    Front-End Loader Help with loader mount for Bobcat CT450 please!

    The attached is parts illustration for that 9TL loader. Note: item #12 bushing requires qty 8, means these are used on the front 4 bolts of each bracket.
