   Welcome to HEF Steelpony. :drinkup A Bobcat really doesn't have a lift/tilt lock bypass, it has a lift/tilt lock, no practical way to bypass it. What is your machine doing (or not doing)?

   Good Morning Wille59, and thanks for the reply. I have a shop manual and it says it does have one but it doesn't show or tell where its located. It also shows a picture of it and it has an electric solenoid on it which I suspect is the problem. The lift/tilt tries to work but will move maybe a 1/2 inch like a valve is locked and won't open.

   Yes, there is a solenoid valve that controls the lift/tilt lock on the main control valve. Is your 873 a C, F, or G series? Rectangle or triangle shaped headlights?

   fuel shutoff solenoid could be sticking, fuel rail could be bent, inj pump sticking.... :beatsme :drinkup
