Looking for a pinout for Bobcats 7 pin attachment plug. I need to adapt bobcat attachments to a 14pin machine.

Do all bobcat 7 pin attachments have the control box? Customer has a bunch of bobcat attachments and I dont know exactly what attachmemts just that they are 7 pin. Clearly it's not a simple one adapter on the new non bobcat machine to make all his attachments work.

The bobcat 7 pin system is CAN-BUS. It's computer signals, not 12v on/off.
So all 7 pin attachment will have a control box.
The control box on the attachment converts the signals to 12v on/off for the solenoids.

14 pin machines are outputting 12v on/off. So if you get a harness and bypass the control box, you can just go directly to the solenoids.
Unfortunately, you'll probably need a harness for each attachment. It would be a pain to keep switching 1 harness between attachments.
