    Electrical issues Using a Bobcat 6 way dozer blade on a Takeuchi TL150

    Kubota 14 Pin Harness for Bobcat Attachments Here is the issue with Kubota. If you have a 14 pin from the past few years, the chances are it is a 14 pin with only 4 pins installed (Hot, GND, SW1 & SW2). The engineers in Japan did not realize that in the USA we run snow blowers. You can...

    Anyone running a new style Bobcat Grader attachment?

    Need your Help to Make Laser Kit. We have been plugging away trying to get the Bobcat Laser Grader system to work on all machines. We have a customer with the laser installed on his Caterpillar. It works externally from the machine using the Bobcat control box. Our goal is to integrate it...

    Bobcat Grader Laser Help

    Day 3: The reason I smoked it is because the older units use coils that are diode protected in one direction so of course I reverse polarized it and fried the first one. I swapped all of them out for ones with Zener diodes and all is good. I am talking to a Bobcat dealer about a laser but I...

    Bobcat Grader Laser Help

    Bobcat Grader Day 2 Here is what I found out today - The hard way. It looks like the coils use PWM for activation. Whenever I am troubleshooting equipment I use a small battery pack that I set up with the same plugs as the coils on the attachment. I connect no electrical to the machine...

    Bobcat Grader Laser Help

    I would like to identify a laser that will work, set it up and then publish it for everyone. This will actually help Bobcat even though their suits don't think so. There are a ton of people out there that want that grader but don't own Bobcat's. BC thinks they should just sell their machines...

    Bobcat Grader Laser Help

    That is strange. My grader just arrived and I plugged one of my harnesses right in. How old is your grader? This one is supposed to be the current model. As for the laser, this grader had one connected but they removed it when they sold it. I am just perplexed at how it interfaces. Is it...

    Bobcat Grader Laser Help

    Hi guys. I just purchased a Bobcat grader so that I can dissect the wiring and create kits that will allow you to operate it on any brand of machine. Here is my issue. I do not know a thing about the lasers. Can anyone recommend a laser package to add to this so that I can see if I can get...

    Kubota 14 pin to 7 pin bobcat

    Attachment Controls Well it's been a year later and due to this one post I have started a new company. I realized there were so many people that had control issues, I should do something about it. I have worked on these machines and the attachment controls for so long and never given it a...

    Caterpillar SR321 Snow Blower Schematic

    Hi guys. Does anyone happen to have the schematic for this snow blower? I built a harness for a customer and we cannot get it to work. The 8 pin connector does not seem to be pinned correctly, but upon final examination I cannot see how it ever worked on a Cat. There are only three switches...

    Electrical issues Using a Bobcat 6 way dozer blade on a Takeuchi TL150

    Caterpillar's are now tricky because they used to be 8 pin and now they are 14 pin but they still have not added two more buttons for controls. Maybe someone with a Cat can comment on this. They used to run an 8 pin but supplied 2 extra hydraulic connections so your hydraulics would actually...

    Electrical issues Using a Bobcat 6 way dozer blade on a Takeuchi TL150

    Bobcat Dozer to a Takeuchi TB-135 In that case you could use one of our jump harnesses. What this does is to plug directly into the Bobcat dozer solenoids and run out the hoses to plug directly into your 14 Pin connection on the boom of your machine. Works like a charm. Here is the link...
