bob cat bother

tipperjohn

Have bob cat 752 skid steer (2002) it won't start, had been working grand, dials started shooting up and back then buzzer stopped, countdown worked for a while then stopped, no power at all now in dash and ignition. Put in new battery, no change. Changed around all the relays and checked fuses under seat. When I cross the starter it turns with lots of power but no no kick.
Anyone any suggestions?
Anyone I've called not back till new year

Is the battery earth ok, would it be drawing power out of the battery through a fault in the alternator , disconnect the alternator and try it

Is it electronic stop or like my tractor cable stop??:D
if its electric you will need to get power to the ignition switch or if badly stuck bring fused live direct in injector pump to get you outta bother either way you'll have to get it repaired going to the dash or it wont charge itself when running

I took off the alternator and got it tested, it is ok, all the earths are ok but machine still wouldn't start.

Thanks Tom, got it started this evening, ran a fused wire from battery through cab and clipped on to the live wire on the ignition switch, got the alternator tested as said above and it had to be a broken wire or ignition switch after that. Seems to be the wire. Will get it sorted correctly asap.
Thanks again for the advice.
