Cat 287B No Lift Hydraulics

Gang,

 

I need some help. Got the CAT stuck in a ditch, and had to get pulled out.  The front end was more than 45 degrees up, now I have no lift/bucket hydraulics, I do have track mobility but can not lift the bucket or tilt it.

 

I did have a warning light on the upper right console that looked like a crossed out cylinder. Now that the machine is level, that has gone out.

 

Any ideas? If there a roll over sensor?

 

Trying to avoid the cost of the local service outfit

 

Thanks

Re: Cat 287B No Lift Hydraulics - More information

Ok,

 

After reading through more posts, I did have to remove the door. Are there any lock out sensors releated to the door? I looked around the frame and on the door itself, do not see anything evident.

 

But removing the door happened in the same timeframe as the lift hydralics not working, the lift arm is up just enough that the door can not be opened. So had to lift it off it's hinges.

 

Thanks again.

Gang it seems there is a safety interlock on the door of the cab, When door was reinstalled and connected, everything worked fine.

 

Thank you
