Are there any issues with the bobcat S185?

Discussion in ‘ Skid Steers ‘ started by Dahendo, Jan 9, 2019 . I Recently picked up a 2004 S185 and it has issues with loader arm drift. I read through the numerous forums and can’t find any posts with the same symptoms. The loader arm drifts down fast. Lifting the lap belt or turning off the machine stop the drift.

Why is my lift arm on my Bobcat not working?

There is some play in the system so the levers will move the machine to an extent until the wedge comes in contact with the front/back of the disc. The issue with the lift arm may possibly be a relief stuck open or a check valve not functioning properly. I am not 100% sure where to start though hopefully some of the smarter guys show up for you.

Click to expand… Yes, I found it with the cab up, definitely not a safe way to do it. Lift arm to max, shut off machine so arms stop drifting, put in the loader arm lock, lift cab, reach in there and start it, lower lap belt and press the green button. Then you can stare down at the block while reaching up and lifting the loader arm.
