    Bobcat 15C Auger

    I have run a 6" and 12" bit on my 15C attached to my Bobcat 325 Excavator and it does the same thing when working in rocky soil. If it hits a large rock or root the bit will stop spinning and the machine will bog down. I can relate to the bit flopping around or walkway away. I usually crowd the...

    Deere backhoe will not move! need some help

    I worked on a 2005 410G which had similar problems to what Canadian Digger stated. It turned out to be the main accessory solenoid (I think Deere called is a relay). I put an indicator light on the always hot output terminal, and the switched key power coming in. When the problem would occur the...

    JD 410G Pilot Control Problem / Electrical

    Just an update. I believe my problem was due to a bad power solenoid that is located next to the fuse panel near the front windshield. The manual calls it the K2 Power relay, but its really a solenoid. It applies switched power to all the gauges, and accessories including the pilot control...

    JD 410G Pilot Control Problem / Electrical

    I am looking for some help. I am working on a 2005 John Deere 410G that has hydraulic pilot controls. The machine is not mine. While digging backhoe controls stop working. It doesn't happen all the time either, and is hard to replicate. When the controls go out, the digital display goes dead and...

    Bobcat 753 Traction lock problem

    I know this thread is a little old, but I figured I would share my experiance on a similar issue. I have a 1998 763 that was giving me intermitent traction lock problems. I would get six flashes on the BICS when I pushed the traction lock override button and could not move the machine. My...

    Gehl CTL 60 (Takeuchi) Loss of Hydraulic Power

    Update: We ended up moving the machine with a ramp truck. I drained the hydraulic tank and the fluid smelled burnt. It also had small metal particles in it. When I pulled the pump I notice the spline shaft snapped in half. It appears to have fractured where the shaft would enter the splined...

    Gehl CTL 60 (Takeuchi) Loss of Hydraulic Power

    We went to move the machine, but the problem now is that we cannot get the machine to move, and we are getting no hydraulic pressure at the control block. We are not experiancing the “shuddering” that we were seeing the day before. I am guessing that the pilots are supplied oil from the same...

    Gehl CTL 60 (Takeuchi) Loss of Hydraulic Power

    The owner is going to move the machine to his house tomorrow so we can take a better look. I did not have the proper fittings available to adapt my gauge to the aux fittings so checking the pressures at the control block was the only option. I believe the pressures should be the same though...

    Gehl CTL 60 (Takeuchi) Loss of Hydraulic Power

    Update: I was able to check the pump pressure where it enters the control block for the aux, lift and curl circuits. The hose from the pump goes into a tee at the control block and has a plug at the end of it. This is where I connected my gauge. At engine idle I got 700 psi and at full...

    Gehl CTL 60 (Takeuchi) Loss of Hydraulic Power

    A friend of mine has a Gehl CTL60 (Takeuchi TL130) with 1200 hours, that is experiencing loss of boom and bucket power. The track drives seem to be fine, but the aux, lift and bucket controls are very slow or do not work. The problem started today after snow blowing for 4 hours. Towards the...

    Kat's Engine Heaters

    I put one in a bobcat a while ago. It worked great and way better than I though it would. Just make sure to install it according to the directions. My heater needed to be installed vertically otherwise the element would burn out due to not being immersed in coolant.

    The suck bucket

    I ran across this thread last weekend and decided to put it into action to drain the diesel out of the tank on my Scat Trak mini excavator. (fuel strainer fell off in the tank and the machine was sucking in sludge from the bottom of the tank). It pulled 5 gallons of fuel of of the tank and into...

    Glass replacement seal tool?

    I've used a cotter pin puller in the past. It looks like and awl with a 90 degree bend and a twist. Hope this helps. I do not know if there is a specific tool to use.

    slack in rubber tracks

    I am not sure what the tension on your machine should be. I believe new tracks will stretch and will need to be tensioned often, until they break in. Anyways, there should be a hole in the center of the under carriage. It may be covered with a plate. In the hole there will be a grease fitting...

    1988 580k dipper

    I am not a backhoe expert, but I would guess a heavy equipment salvage yard would have one or could find you one. This is one, but there are many others out there. https://www.heavyequipmentforums.com/Forum/showthread.php?p=103309
