Bobcat T590 with limp joystick

SCMadison ยท 2018-05-26 14:35

Got a bobcat with under 70 hours. Scraping sod for about a half hour and had the left joystick go totally limp. It falls forward and left track has no power. I have hand controls but I assume the problem is either in the hydraulics or the steering linkage. Maybe a power issue but seems unlikely. Is it possible I'm missing something stupid? Searched various forums and couldn't find anything related. I can't get service until next week and was hoping to get work done over the weekend. Thanks to anyone who can help.

    time to start disassembling to find out what came apart, to me that sounds to be linkage let go.
