Bobcat 310 Speed control & Auxiliary Hydraulics

[holenhead]

I'm brand new to this forum as of today and like most people need a little help.
I bought a non-running 310 Bobcat for home use and have done a lot of work to it to use around the house for now. It's running and I'm having fun with rock harvesting, grading, and snow plowing. When my landscaping is done next year I will restore it but for now I have two questions that maybe someone could help me with,
first is the "aux. hydraulic foot control pedal" does anyone know what it looks like or can someone send me a picture of one?
And secondly I can't tell if it's running in high or low speed, I would like to get it to work in both speed but believe that the Power relay could be bad or mis-wired.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi speed is really only good for pushing snow or carry work. So if your digging in the dirt yours is in low range.
Does yours have the 3rd hyd valve spool and lines out the boom already?
Any kind of a linkage you could fab to operate the valve would be fine. Sorry I don't have a pic.
you could try skidsteerforum

Thanks Ken,

I do have a third valve spool and realize that I would have to bend up some steel tubing in order to have the auxiliary connections by the bucket.
My thought on the pedal configuration is that the foot box is tight enough and can't imagine another pedal located in between the other two.
I have manuals but none go into great detail about the auxiliary controls.

I have the same issue with a 843 bobcat. No pedal, no lever to hook linkage from the valve to a control of some sort in the cab. I have a 4 spool valve with only the loader and bucket hooked up.

I did find an auction on EBay and was able to blow up a picture of the aux. Pedal configuration.
If you want send me your email and I'll send you a copy.
It appears like the center aux. Pedal is just a flat piece of steel and is positioned between the two pedals.

[holenhead]

to give you an idea I paid $2500 for mine but has paid for it's self 20 times over. I did figure out the two speeds and the auxillary hydraulics.
So I'm having fun & getting my moneys worth.

holenhead: Did yours already have the lines run out to the boom, or did you get those made? Also, is there any chance you could email me a picture of the back end of yours showing the 2 speed clutches and belt arrangement? Let me know if that is a possibility. Thank you.

Hi everyone, well its been about 5 years since my first original post about the auxiliary controls for my Bobcat 310.
Well I finally finished running all the steel tubing, making an additional pedal, and spool valve linkage. The biggest reason for completing this endevor was to try out my front mounted log splitter. After bleeding the lines I was able to get it to function and split some wood, but it was rather slow even with the high speed button pressed. If anyone is interested in the details or pics let me know.

I'm interested in seeing pics details of it. I have a 310 I'm putting a engine in.

Hello again it’s been 14 years since my last post.
I do still have my Bobcat 310 and did finally did a rebuild on it.
Tore it down rebuilt the original Kohler 16 hp, repainted and replaced all the hydraulic hoses.
From my original post I was seeking answers or pictures pertaining to the third spool for auxiliary set up but didn’t get a lot of input.
But I did bend some tubing and ran them to the front as well as creating the third pedal. I loaded some pictures of the end result. Let me know what you think. Not bad for a 46years old Bobcat

Sorry Harvey
Apparently they don’t send me auto emails. I did post today and have some pictures if you’re interested.

Just recently I had to drain the oil and dismantle items so that I could take care of a few tank related leaks and while I had it drained and apart I felt that was the time to throw in the brand new clutch discs. (I’ve bought the discs years ago) After a couple of days I finally reassembled and adjusted the lever throws. All is good now and well worth doing it. Now everything is completed and working as it should and still original.
