Hey ya'll, I know this forum doesn't deal with skid steers as much as it does tractors, but I was hoping someone could help me with an issue I'm having with my 2000 Bobcat 753.
I recently had the hydraulic control valve rebuilt and reinstalled it in the machine.
When the machine is operating, both the boom and bucket tilt slowly fall down. If I pick up on the seat bar or shut the engine off, they immediately stop. However, there is still a little "play" that you can move the cylinders a tiny bit, and when I move them into the upper range of that "play", they don't fall back down again. I don't think its the seals in the cylinders. They weren't causing problems before the control valve got rebuilt.
I have misplaced both of my auxiliary solenoids, so I don't have those connected. I was told it was fine to run without them.
I know there are many issues that could cause this problem, but I'd first like to start out by making sure I have reconnected all the hydraulic lines and solenoids to the electrical harness correctly.
Does anyone have a Bobcat that is somewhat similar to mine (mine has the BICS valve on top of the control valve) that would be willing to pop the cab and take a couple pictures?
I'd REALLY appreciate the help, the closest dealer is 45 minutes away, and my service manual and other internet resources haven't been much help.
Thanks,
Dennis
