773 lift/tilt solenoid

2frankh ยท 2013-10-20 20:26

Get a 18-70 code. Lift/tilt solenoid open circuit. I know they are on the main valve (right side of machine under the seat). Not sure if they are on the side or they are on the top. What is the best way to get them out? Looks like its not going to be real fun.Thanks for the help. Really love this forum. Saved a bunch with all the great help.

    I'm not sure if the code is referring to the lift and tilt spool lock solenoids, or the main BICS hydraulic lock off solenoid. In the pic below, the solenoids pointed by red arrows is the lift and tilt spool lock solenoids, and the solenoid pointed by orange arrow is the hydraulic lock off solenoid. Check all wiring and connections going to these solenoids, especially looking for places in the harness that has rubbed a wire in two.

    Thanks for the help. Is there a special tool to remove them? They sure didn't leave much room to work in there.

    Nope, no special tools. The only required things working on a Bobcat is creativity, several bleeding spots on your hands and arms, and various favorite swear words.
