Help ! I am having some problems with a bobcat t190 . I am getting codes 16-07 and 17-07.. The machine would work sometimes in foot control mode . Other times nothing . If it rests over night it would work . If the battery is disconnected for a while it would also work . I checked the solenoid on the valve bank . The black one facing the left of the machine and it was getting about 4.8v . And I was getting continuity from that solenoid also . I checked what looked like the traction solenoid / actuator and I got about the same voltage and also continuity from that solenoid also .. Please help the machine isn't moving atoll

Ok so I have a little update . Everytime I get the error I am getting 12.66V flowing through the machines ground. The panel also gives me the code saying tilt handle/pedal short to ground .. Help ! Is this a harness issue ? The short is intermittent . And only when the voltage is flowing through the ground I get 16-07 and 17-07

I can't help you with your codes but I've got a question about Bobcats. I was looking into them and noticed all the older ones have the lever controls instead of joysticks. That is a big turn off for me. Maybe it's just my bias because I'm used to joysticks. So what do you think about your lever controls? Seems old world dork to me. Curious.

Hey look. I'm on probation. Hah, hah. Who puts Ron Burgundy on probation?
Brother, I have to wait 120 seconds between posts (palm on forehead). This is going to be a fun forum (roll eyes).

Aha. So the levers control the tracks - push or pull each as desired. And there's a joystick or pedal to control the loader? Sorry, new to Bobcats - I never see a joystick in older Bobcat photos - always wondered what the pedals were for. Are you saying there's a joystick or pedal AND levers? I think Bobcat has switched over to all joystick controls on the new machines. Is that correct?

Please excuse my stupid questions. I'm on a fact finding mission before purchasing a CTL.
