A300 drive issues

chavezequip ยท 2016-09-01 17:52

Got a bobcat a300 that the right side tires will not move. Got codes 38-31 and 38-07. All about the left y axis. I have checked wires and solenoids for hours. Everything checks out. Owner states it just quit. The left tires pull just fine. I am at my wits end, service manual is no help on the problem. Anyone know what to check

    sounds like a bad joystick... is the joystick base round or square? :drinkup

    It is square. We took the right joystick off and put it in place of the one not working and still had the same problem

    from what i recall the RH & LH joysticks have different PN's and are not interchangable. :drinkup

    you are correct we borrowed the test harness and confirmed it is a bad joystick
