I have an '06 Bobcat 435 ZHS with about 6,500 hrs on it now. I don't have the S/N handy at the moment.
Yesterday the machine suddenly stopped traveling. It currently displays trouble code 66-06. According to my son, it is a wire that controls a hydraulic solenoid that needs to open to allow hydraulic flow to the travel motors ("ground fault, hydraulic travel motor solenoid"). He checked out the wires near the hydraulic valve body and he can see where there is a spot that significant wear through the insulation and wire are present. Wire number is 4510. Tomorrow we are going to try to cut out the bad section and splice it back together. This will likely be with but connectors but I don't trust those to last long. Maybe I will solder it? Either way, this is not ideal in my opinion. I think that I may need to replace this harness. Can anyone tell me how difficult that is, what harness I may need, and how much it may cost? I may be open to other suggestions but I would prefer to keep any repair on the "non-McGuiver" side of the spectrum. I want it to work reliably.
