I looked at a skid loader today with a park brake that won't hold. I haven't been able to negotiate any Bobcat websites thus far that offer a parts diagram, however I was able to find a PDF service manual that explains(among other things) removal of brake disc(s?) from the chainbox in the center of the machine. It also shows a "traction lock solenoid" which was clearly visible on the machine. The manual does NOT go into any detail as to how the system works, or anything about about how the various parts interact.
I was hoping someone with some knowledge of these machines might be able to offer a quick description of the system and maybe some of the common failures, or things to look for.
