530 Bobcat problems

I recently had a hose blow on my 530 Bobcat. It was the closest one to the bottom of the machine and to replace it I had to remove several other hoses to even get to it. It was one of the more miserible jobs I've had in recent history!!! In the process of replacing the hoses I managed to knock off the electrical connections to a selenoid that apparently lets the hydrostatic drive know whether or not to run. Can this be bypassed somehow, can I replace the electrical connection (I'm not sure which one of three) or do I need to invest in a new one? I also managed to knock off the electrical connection to some sort of a sensor to the front of the hydrostatic unit. When I removed this sensor it looks to me like it senses temperature in the hydralics. I'm sure the two are related somehow. Thanks in advance for any help.

I just got my first Bobcat this year. I'm still learning. I do know that the one sending unit is for hydraulic temperature. It connects to a warning light in the dashboard. I believe if the temp is too high it will hut you down. I'm not sure what the other sloenoid your refering to is. Hope that helps some.

I finally got to talk to a Bobcat mechanic and he told me there was probably air in the hydrostatic drive. What he told me to do was to take out that sensor and install a short nipple in it and attach a hose to this. He said to run the hose to the filler pipe, jack the tires off of the ground and run the wheels back and forth to work the air out of the system. He also said this may take about 20 minutes to get the air out. Hopefully this will get me back going again. I hate to split wood by hand when the Bobcat works soooo much easier.
