    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.

    Problems come quick when you're working in the woods. Bent something in my treadle.

    The reverse end of your pedal is bent downward where red circle indicates. Picture shows it being almost horizontal, it should have an upward arc. No idea how or why it bent but it is.

    CT230 with 50 hours won't start

    The fuel solenoid has 2 power circuits feeding it. One is a momentary high amperage input to pull the solenoid ON then shuts off, the second is a lower amp input that holds the magnet in place. Hearing 2 clicks when you turn the key on indicates to me that the fuel solenoid is not working in...

    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. Looks like they used a bushing spacer rather than offset the plate. If these bushings are not in the kit probably best to order from Bobcat...

    Quick Connect for FEL Bucket

    Remote (hydraulic) operated from the seat can be done, just a matter of how you set up the locking levers and cylinder or cylinders. I went the manufacture route and bought the SSQA, and all of Bobcat's current QAs are designed with ability to add the hydraulic function. The lock levers have...

    FEL hydraulics have failed

    Take the plug out where I drew the red arrow. If the valve has it's own relief it would be under that plug. Relief stuck open would give the symptom described if the valve is not plumbed in Open Center series. With only 2 hoses going to tractor, it may not be is series with the 3pt system.

    Pond Scoop to SSQA for the loader

    Occasionally I have had need for a narrow bucket to reach in between trees and to load rock or mulch in the wheelbarrow to haul where tractor will not fit.

    Pallet fork size - 36", 42" or 48"?

    I have 42" and tried 48" before buying, but found the 48" were too difficult maneuvering where I normally use them. This past weekend I was in the woods cutting up downed limbs and trees with forks on front to lift limbs off the ground and carry-all on the back to load wood on. Then I wished...

    Everlast PA 200 ST arrived

    My new welder was waiting for me when I got home last night. The poor thing had to ride from California to Chicago then down to Tennessee, so after opening it up to make sure it was OK. Nice, well packed to avoid damage. Unpacked it, used the 120v adapter and plugged it in. Yep, it runs...

    Pallet forks suppose to be loose or SSQA bracket improperly made?

    :thumbsup: Exactly the reason or 1 of the 3. When Bobcat first came up with the idea they were going to put flexible flag on in place of the handle then decided to leave the handle in place and drill a hole in it for the cylinder pin. 1. The handle indicates when open or closed. 2. In event of...

    I Still Hate My Tractor

    Fred, This might help some. As you are aware, Bobcat used the V2003T (56 HP) in some models but in same frame without Turbo they used the V2203 (46 HP). So I can't be positive of the specs on V2003 aspirated engine. Comparing specs of V2003T vs V2203 almost everything matches (injection...

    Combination SSQA pallet fork & QH 3 point mount
