I just bought a cat 257B it will move but will not raise or tilt bucket. I am not familiar with this machine any ideas?
They have a door safety switch that cuts out the hydraulics if the door is open. Check that first. It is mounted in the hinge area of the door on left side. There should be a bypass plug for when you take the door off.
I think there's a relay in the the back of the cab in the fuse box that powers the lift tilt lockout solenoid. It is in a row of about 3 little black relays. You could try swapping it.
I would need a serial number to be more specific.
serial # BHSLK05553 again thanks for your help.
