Looking for a pinout for Bobcats 7 pin attachment plug. I need to adapt bobcat attachments to a 14pin machine.

    Skid Steer Genius.? They do adapter harnesses of anything to anything, or so it seems. https://www.skidsteergenius.com/

    The bobcat 7 pin plug will go to a control box on the attachment and then to the solenoids. What you need is a 14 pin harness that goes directly to the solenoids and bypasses the control box. Like this: https://www.skidsteergenius.com/collections/bypass-cable-kits/products/sg-bph-14-6-9-dp

    Do all bobcat 7 pin attachments have the control box? Customer has a bunch of bobcat attachments and I dont know exactly what attachmemts just that they are 7 pin. Clearly it's not a simple one adapter on the new non bobcat machine to make all his attachments work.

    SSG could probably answer that question over the phone.

    The bobcat 7 pin system is CAN-BUS. It's computer signals, not 12v on/off. So all 7 pin attachment will have a control box. The control box on the attachment converts the signals to 12v on/off for the solenoids. 14 pin machines are outputting 12v on/off. So if you get a harness and bypass the control box, you can just go directly to the solenoids. Unfortunately, you'll probably need a harness for each attachment. It would be a pain to keep switching 1 harness between attachments.
