You seriously have a video for every issue I seem to come across. You cover everything critical in a short video. Great work and Mahalo for the videos!
Your videos are fantastic! The tips and tricks you have are very useful and I've found them to be helpful when working on anything and everything! Well done!
i have 2000 773 bobcat and ordered new actuators but they are different they are like the ones in this video is there an adapter that they make to use these actuators on my machine thx in advance
I have a Bobcat 300 and I have this problem, lift only goes up and doesn't go down and tilt doesn't do anything, any clues to solve this problem? Thank you
@@tetradgroup I guess diagnosis on can bus. I have a t66 r series that's is doing weird stuff by throwing left and right joystick base and grip message failure and keypad no communication and cab controller no communication
@@tannerkottwitz3883 that's funny because I have one doing the same thing but it's so intermittent I can't find the problem. Already replaced both joysticks and workgroup controller. Looks like a wiring harness next.
@@tetradgroup I don't think my problem is any joystick I'm gonna check the resistance of the can bus and see what it is. First time it did it to me I moved dirt for 30 min and it was only right joystick base failure. Then I cleaned hub controller, and cab and a bunch if other connections moved dirt for 30min again and got all the joy stick and keypad codes. Check the harness saw no problems. We had another t66 with a similar problem guy cleaned connectors and couldn't get it to replicate and he moved dirt for 3 hours
@@tannerkottwitz3883 I hope you figure it out, mine will run 3 or 4 days without an issue then it will act up out of nowhere and by the time I get to jobsite it runs fine again. I see the stored codes but can't replicate. CAN test fine but of course it's not broke when I get to it. Very frustrating.
Hi. If my actuator is still good, but i need to remove it to do spool seals, what voltage should i use to move the actuator without doing any damage to it? 12v?
Is there a way to test it before you take them off or how do you know when an actuator is going bad I have a bobcat t630 and it's runs good but I don't know where when I'm using the tilt bucket or grippers the actuator code kicks in and it locks the tilt can you give me some help with that
@@charlesthorpe3179 you can try to turn the machine on and see if it will try to center itself or you can run it in with a battery but it should be smooth and easy,
Some places will train their mechanics and have ongoing continuing education. I did not have any heavy equipment experience when I first started working for Caterpillar in Georgia. One of these days I hope to have an online course for those that want to learn a little more about heavy equipment. Best of luck to you!
That little guy in the background made my day. Keep up the great videos!

Great work and Mahalo for the videos!
Another awesome video - dying laughing seeing the boy in the background - made my day!!
Thanks for all the Bobcat videos. I learn something new every time.
Again, that is a brilliant move on, simple! The KISS Rule! And darn it, sometimes I do feel stupid but learning from your videos. Thank you.

Great to hear! I am glad you have found them helpful
😮😮😮 this man is good. I’m a new bobcat owner and I need to change the lift actuator
Wow, that was easy. Thx for sharing. Give the kiddo a hug and scratch on the head. Funny boy right there. Kids being kids!! Love it!
Love every minute of your videos
Fantastic idea! Thank you for sharing with us!
Great video and advice. Thanks mate👍
Great little helper you have!
Brilliant !!! Keep them coming. Thanks

Thank you man, saved us a lot of headache
Glad to hear it
Excelente video, me ayudó mucho para cambiar un actuador con falla
Do you need to calibrate the actuator or are they just pull off put on and go
When putting the motor back on is there a certain angle the motor goes back in?
Thanks for sharing . Learn something new everyday.
Thanks for watching!
Elegant solution and very creative,

I'm a new bobcat tech and I like watching the videos to learnung Some small things
Thanks so much- is there anything in particular that would be beneficial to cover? I appreciate you watching!

@jaredingram8053 just pull it out by hand, it won't hurt anything
@@tetradgroup and if it's stuck like it shows in the video?
@jaredingram8053 then yes, 12 volts is OK
@@tetradgroup Thanks a lot. Your videos have been a great help and are much appreciated. Keep it up!
εξαιρετικο το βιντεο.
μηπως να μπορούσατε να ηταν ποιο κατανοητό το βγαλσιμο της βαλβίδας.
ευχαριστω πολύ.
do i have to take out the entire control valve out the get the lift spool out when i try taking it out in runs into another hard hydraulic line
Hopefully you can move the metal line, 773 should have enough room to remove spool.
I have a problem whit one t770 2022 dont lift i check but looks diferent and just have ground and 6 v reference
What code do you have. The 2022 T770 will be the same as one in video
what are the symptoms of a bad actuator?
Wild man!!!

What is the code?
Hey I’m getting code 32-31 I switched the plugs on the actuator works fine and tilt stops and throws same code 33-31 any idea what it can be ?
33-31? Not familiar with that code, the other is for tilt actuator
What about on install? Do you drive the actuator back in or?
If the actuator is working correctly then you can easily just push it in by hand.
@@tetradgroup I'm currently in the process of reinstalling my tilt actuator and I cannot get it to go in...

Thank you for the video..
Thanks for the knowledge your awesome
Thanks, that really means a lot. I appreciate you watching!
How do you become a bobcat technician in the south? (south carolina). It seems the schools are all up north?🤔
Some places will train their mechanics and have ongoing continuing education. I did not have any heavy equipment experience when I first started working for Caterpillar in Georgia.

Cool
i have a 2001 773 g
Excuse me, I have a Bobcat T250, I have the problem that the hydraulic on the dashboard turns on and goes off, can you help me with an answer, thanks.
Look at those arms. What a beef cake
