I have a older bobcat 331. S/N begins with 512. My joystick controls will not work (no boom or turret function). I've checked the safety lock out on the left console and there is pressure going through it. How can I test the accumulator and can it be rebuilt? What else could cause this issue? Help please!
Do your track and blade functions still work?
yes. they still work
Then the problem is in the pilot safety circuit or solenoid. Is this one of the old X331 models?
I figured it out today. The valves in the joystick assemblies were frozen. I disassembled them and gave it a good thorough cleaning. Took about 45 minutes per. The machine sat for a while before I bought it. Tomorrow I will put it to the test and finish the PM before I turn her loose.
