Bobcat B250 problem PLEASE HELP

[Orangelandscaping]

Hello I recently purchased a bobcat b250 tlb and reverse doesn't work. When I push the reverse pedal the backup siren works but nothing happens. All the other hydro functions work fine but what I did notice is that the yellow push to drive button lights up when engaged as usual, but cuts out when reverse is engaged and when the pedal is pushed all the way forward. When the pedal is pushed all the way forward the wheels stop spinning also. This leads me to believe that it is a electrical issue. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks.

I don't believe it is a electrical issue. I had a similar problem and the problem was in the shift linkage.

What shift linkage? You mean the valve body for the pedal?

I'll check tomorrow when i go down to the shop. I believe I still have the paperwork on the repairs. as I remember it was in the hydrostat system.

Ok thank you please let me know

It seems 2 things went down at the same time. 1st had to change out a servo in the shift linkage and 2nd clean out the shift solenoid. a piece of metal was stuck holding it open or closed. Good Luck,

Are these machines two speed, or forward / reverse shift solenoid?

Mine is a single speed hydrostat
