If you have fluid pooring out of the red or green caps on the back of the hydrolic switch block this is probably your issue. Very simple to do. The seal in the rear will go bad causing it to leak while running.
Thanks for the video! I ran into the exact same problem didn't even think about the pedal lock! My spool valve experience comes from rear remotes on tractors
Thanks for posting this video! I have a bobcat 863 and when I slide the lower spool valve out the back it runs into a solid hydraulic line. Did you have to remove any of the hard hydraulic lines?
I'm sorry that I just now saw your comment, but for anyone that sees this in the future... For the 2005 bobcat 873, I did not have to take any hydraulic lines loose to get the spool valves out.
I am sorry I didn't see your comment until now but for anyone else who sees this video... Behind the green and red caps are the spool valves, if fluid leaks from there then you need to rebuild the spool valves. The spool valves are sealed via a "lip seal" that can be found at a bobcat parts house. There are o rings around the ends of the valves but if it is leaking fluid then the "lips seals" are the problem.
I just took the seals I got out of the machine and my vin number to a local bobcat dealer and they gave me the individual seals. They were only about $30
