    Bobcat V518 Versahandler Hydraulic PWM spool issues

    2008 V518 Versahandler I've lost functionality from the boom extend circuit and aux hydraulics out by the tool carrier. At first it was a bit possessed, not working then extending at random intervals and directions but I solved that by unplugging the hydraulic solenoid when not in use. :(...

    No throttle response from a Perkins 1004 in a versahandler

    Sounds good. All seems well now. It starts fine and runs through the RPM range as it should. Thanks for the help!

    No throttle response from a Perkins 1004 in a versahandler

    Ok, significant developments in the man vs. evil Bobcat saga. I removed the latch valve and it looked good. Spring/plunger travel as expected. I re bled the pump and injectors and got it to idle. No difference. Same as before with zero throttle response. I played with the advance solenoid and no...

It just continues to idle at 750-1000 as you twist away at the pump lever. The lever travel action seems...

    Changing the lever pattern on an old PC80-3

    Ok, I'm stumped. I looked all over the machine, in the manual, in the operators guide but couldn't find how to change the pattern from SAE to ISO. The pattern is opposite to what its supposed to be in the manual and a simple hose swap won't work. Neither will fiddling with the linkage rods. 1986...
