Bobcat tractor issue

Ben Shipley · Jun 5, 2012

Hello All
I have a problem with a Bobcat CT tractor. Recently, after a day of brush hogging, the tractor would not operate. At this point, tractor will not start unless I cross the selonoid. But it will then start and run, until 1 - you reales the brake, and/or 2 - you move the foot pedal to forward or reverse. It instantly, shuts tractor down. Now, I know it sounds like a safety switch, and we have found a bunch of them and checked them out/disconnedcted what we could.

Questions are: - any one oknow how many of them switches there are? Anybody got any additonal ideas? WOuld a shop manual show me additonal circuts/switches?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks
Ben

I had a similar problem on a Bobcat CT120. I found a tip somewhere online that suggested spraying WD40 in the key switch through the key opening then turn the key back and forth a few times. This actually worked. I guess the switch contacts had become corroded or something.
