@@criststoltzfus9769 I agree with you. I think they bought up almost all the auction houses too.

@@garywilliams7839 that’s a brilliant idea! Thank you!

@@BroadcastBuddy Ya, considering how core this part is to the machine!

@@BroadcastBuddy Animals?

No, previous owners. The nice thing about the Genie "2306" (it's the euro version) is it runs entirely on relays. The only IC is in the single cluster gauge that is for the hour meter. The engine is an old mechanically controlled Perkins.

@@BroadcastBuddy that is nice! As I work on more and more equipment, I am starting to prefer the simpler design and engine controls.

This is such a small unit that I didn’t bother. When the pump kicks on it pressurizes the manifold and then back into the tank. The lines were so short, I bet it happened almost instantly. The longer lines like drive and up and down, I just cycled a couple times. If there was a chance of running the pump dry for more than a few seconds, I would have been concerned.

Thank you!

Thanks man!

Thank you! I appreciate the comments and the feedback!

I went to a Parker store near my house and watched them make the hoses. Not sure what specifically you are looking for?

Well, that is a tricky question. I found some wires in mine that were about ready to start shorting out because of wear. You could have a situation like that. These controllers have a solid state base with a magnet over them to get position. I am not sure what yours has in it. Doing some research, I found a post on the heavy equipment forums called "Help with CAT 259D LH Joystick error". There are a couple of troubleshooting procedures in PDF that should be able to help you. Let me know what you end up doing.

@@MakersAcres Thank you for reading. That's what we are hoping for. Looking for some sort of a schematic to tell us where the sensor actually is as well. I found the same threads, but after registering, I don't have access to those pdfs. Maybe my membership is too new. I'll keep trying. The cheapest solution is definitely going to happen before major money is sunk into it

@@readwriteretro That's strange. I was able to download them. This forum should be free to all. If you e-mail me, I can send you the copies from that forum. My e-mail is in the about section. You may have to view it on a desktop in order to see it.

Sure. Please reach out to the email in the about section and I’ll help you out.

Thanks for the reply. I didn’t see an email in the about section so I followed the links to your website and emailed through there. Thanks again.

@@intense14u I think that is an app issue. I think you have to be on a desktop to see it. Anyhow, I got your email and I’ll dig through my pictures!

Watch my video called “Buying CHEAP skid steer attachments”. I go over the full price breakdown.

Probably have about 40 hours on it since the rebuild and so far so good! I took the cap off to inspect and the oil looks new still.

I would check out heavy equipment forums and make a post in the scissor lift section and someone probably knows.

Do you have a unit with a screen in it? I am assuming you do if you get that error message. You can go into the diagnostics menu and show the control outputs in real time. Should show you X and Y positions as well as button presses I think? If you email me (you have to go to the about section to get the e-mail as KZfaq will strip it out) I can give you some of the troubleshooting steps in the manual.

I never did see an e-mail from you. Were you able to resolve this?

On the service section, I got two errors: 1. Left Joystick Base Message Failure 2. Left Joystick Grip message Failure My bobcat's model is s62, year 2022. where can I see the control outputs? please let me know the troubleshooting steps.

@@Jing2010a Oh, this is a newer model. I would think that would be covered by warranty! I would head over to the heavy equipment forums and make a new post under the skid steer section.

Thanks, I am not sure if it is still covered by warranty since this machine now has 7000 hrs

Sorry. That’s before I was able to afford licensing music. I try to use different songs in all of my videos

I agree. I figure they put the R&D into these over a decade ago. At the time, it was great, but as far as I can tell, they have never iterated and updated it.

I will make it available! I started setting up an account on thingiverse. Guess I should finish that. Hehe

I can’t imagine having a farm without one now!

I ended up using it to help bury my fence for predators too!

Ya, she is pretty great! Runs most of the equipment

Thank you for the info. Luckily it turned out to be something else! Hopefully I will get that video out soon!

Thank you! It only gets bigger!

Thank you for the info! This was my first gearbox rebuild, so I am learning!

I have not. Are there some in California?

Lake Elsinore on flint Street

You should check it out

My suggestion is to pick up items the the second week after auction its less busy to pick items

@@user-vp7qs3bb5v I will! Thank you!

That’s good to know! Thank you for sharing!

Let me take a look and see if that’s in the manual. Might be easier to contact me via the email in the about page.

Agreed! This was a learning experience for me and I hope others learn from my mistakes!

Agreed! I did a dumb thing and panicked

@@MakersAcres we al can’t be perfect on the first try!

I don’t know that I have enough experience with JLG to make that call, I can make that call about Bobcats though!

The version I have, I don’t think it does. I have seen this same unit sold as just a bottom with no top at auctions.

Nah, I like working on the floor. Hehe. I do have a video later of when I get a work bench.

Thank you for the info!

Thank you! It makes a huge difference and can even help increase print speed if done right.

Yes, they are very smooth and no grinding now because I removed all the debris. You probably don’t need to do this if your seals are intact. Mine was torn, so I had no idea how long the controller was getting debris in it. I also found some wires that were getting cut up, so the preventive maintenance I did I would consider worth it as well.

Thank you new viewer who I do not know at all ;p

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the support

Actually there is a lot of deception involved by Richi. Nearly all who win get disappointed and that is thousands of people. It is good that he posted this so don't be too condescending please. Your point is taken. More people need to see this before they bid.

Ya, I learned that the hard way on this one! I have a video of when I got a work bench from auction. So much better!

Wow! That sounds awesome! For what it’s worth, I have been using this for 2 years since the rebuild and it has held up great!

Honestly don’t worry about painting the gearbox, it’ll never stay together long enough for corrosion to become an issue

@@petedavidsen1760 I have probably 40-60 hours of use since the rebuild and it is still going strong. I mean, I put way better bearings in it than what was in it before, so I expect a long life now. Would I rely on it if my business was mowing lawns or clearing brush with this, no. But for my personal property it has been wonderful. I just had to pay a stupid tax for not putting oil in it. It’s a better gear box now though even though it was painful.
