Different topic......

I need to run several sets of wires (side cab lights, rotating beacon and backup camera) from on top of the cab into the cab. Has anyone found an easy access point to do this, other than drilling a large hole into the cab body?

Thanks, DEWFPO

I ran ours into the console, then down through the hole that the rest of the harness goes through. You just need to lift that center plastic console, a couple torx screws in the back and bolts under the rubber arm rest.

Code: 50-54: Swash Plate Not In Neutral
Description:
A Code 50-54 occurs when the Drive Controller detects the Swash Plate sensor is not in the neutral range of 2.2 – 2.8 volts. If a Code 50-54 occurs, drive will be disabled.
Possible Cause:
Hydraulic pump is not physically centered. Refer to the Service Manual.
Signal wire 3550 shorted to a ground or voltage source.
Ground wire 2600 open.
Swash Plate sensor.
Code 50-19 "Swash Plate Sensor Out Of Range High".
Code 50-20 "Swash Plate Sensor Out Of Range Low".
Code 50-35 "Servo Coil Maximum Current".
Code 50-49 "Brake Coil Short To Battery (Coil Return)".
Drive Controller.
Moisture, corrosion, or pushed back pins in the Drive Controller connectors, Swash Plate sensor connector, or wire harness. See Electrical Systems Connector Maintenance in Technical Information.
If the code is intermittent and not on at the time of testing, the cause of the code may not be found at this time. Probable causes may include: loose connections, corrosion, pushed back pins, the controller, the wire harness or a combination of these problems. Refer to Troubleshooting Intermittent Electrical Faults Procedures in Technical Information.
Conditions for Code:check Swash Plate sensor signal wire 3550 for a short to ground or supply voltage. Does wire 3550 check OK?
Go to Step 2. Repair or replace wire harness.
2 Check continuity on ground wire 2600. Does wire 2600 have continuity?
Go to Step 3. Repair or replace wire harness.
3 Place the machine on jack stands. Disconnect the Swash Plate sensor. A Code 50-19 “Swash Plate Sensor Out of Range High” will occur. Warning: Make sure all bystanders and tools are clear of wheels! Start the Tool Cat, do the wheels rotate?
Internal problem with the pump. Replace Swash Plate sensor.

Now that's something I can work with!
Thank you kindly sir!

Sounds like you need a Service Manual and a Parts Manual: Manuals - Bobcat Company

Disregard the "NO STOCK AVAILABLE FOR THIS ITEM"

True story, I just need to convince my boss of that. We are likely trading this one out next season, so he tends to balk at that.

Thanks, that's were I'm heading.

Got a 2004 Toolcat 5600 with 1100 hours, picked it up recently. Everything working fine for about a week, yesterday it didn't want to go in reverse. Will back up with effort, moves ok in forward, some resistance. As soon as you let off the gas pedal, it comes to a quick stop. Thinking brakes are locked up. Not sure where to start. Open to suggestions. Did check hydraulic level and fluid condition. Looks okay.

Any warning codes when this happens?

Do the brake adjustment as shown in the service manual.

 

[sparky24]

Waiting for service manual. Just got the machine recently, only have the operators manual. Any chance you could scan that part and post it. Thanks.

I have no experience with your 5600 B series, but have read that there is a major difference in the drive line and axles, with my 5610 F series, so don't think that would help.


Independent rear suspension.

 

[Jabonee]

I just looked at the service Manuel and could not find an adjustment procedure for them. I'v been working on Toolcats for years and never heard of an adjustment. Can you post the SN# so I can look in the proper Manuel? The Toolcats are equiped with wet brakes contained within the axle housing.

 

[Xfaxman]

I checked my service manual, it shows how to disassemble the brakes, but there is no adjustment like the ones on the V417.

Update on my situation.
Ordered the shop manual, unplugged the swashplate sensor and cleaned the connections, and the code went away. Ran the tool for an hour and it came back. So got on the horn with the local service guy, he advised the replacement of the sensor, so I ordered one and replaced it this am. The old one 's shaft was locked up while the replacement spun freely. All better other than the cramp I got getting my hand under that pump. Thanks all!

Good info, thanks for the update. :thumbsup:

Axle matching is the ability to speed up or slow down front or rear wheels so they match in RPM. Its been a while but for instance if a rear wheel begins to slip and spin the front wheel will speed up to match the rear. I'm rusty on the older model theory of operation.Any body out the remember how that works. Slow down or speed up?:confused3:

 

[SSdoxie]

Axle matching will de-stroke pump on the faster turning axle to slow it down to match the other. That is why when one motor gets weak or fails drive stops with axle matching on because it de-strokes the good working pump/axle to match the speed of the bad one.
