Why is my Bobcat 763 not lifting snow?

I have am using a Bobcat 763 to move snow. We used it all day yesterday and not problem and today it will not lift. It moves forward just no lifting of the bucket. What could be the problem?

What does lift / tilt lock on bobcat 753 do?

BTW, the clunk you’re hearing when you push the button to operate the machine is the parking brake solenoid releasing the brake, the lift/tilt lock is a different part of the system. That’s a 753 F Series machine.

Where is the BICS controller on a bobcat 753?

Yes, on the C and F series machines, the BICS controller is in an awkward spot to view, mounted on the rear panel to the right of the seat, but when this problem comes up you need to try and view the LED lights on the BICS controller and see if the LED for Lift/Tilt lock is flashing a code.

Is the seat switch problematic on a bobcat?

When Bobcat progressed to the G Series machines the BICS diagnostics got way better, much like OBDII. Yes, the seat switch is problematic on C and F machines, maybe the reason Bobcat did away with them on the G Series, that and the BICS system really didn’t need it by that time.
