    853H will not reverse Hyds

    right, but hitting the switches on either stick still makes the post hole digger go the same way. " Did you unscrew the spool valve and take it apart or just replace the solenoid coil?" I just replaced the the coil, i'll have to unscrew it and see what I find. Thanks

    Water well drilling with a skid steer

    Water well drilling with a skid steer

    That is the swivel I have all the info at the shop, i'll get it tomorrow. I know a "real" well driller can put 10's of thousands of pounds on the drill but the time I think it would make a difference is when you hit a rock. The water and drill do most of the work. at times we were drilling 15...

    853H will not reverse Hyds

    HI I have a bobcat 853H that will not reverse hyds. Changed out solenoids and didn't make a difference. no matter what button i push, they flow the same way. tried this on a post hole digger and a rock hound. The rock hound needs to reverse to dump the bucket. Where do I start to look? Thanks

    new guy needs help 7753 arms won't lower unless aux hydro's is enganged
