Caterpillar 14 Pin Connector Diagram: Adapting Older Bobcat Attachments

This adapter allows you to use older 14-pin Bobcat attachments on newer Cat D-Series Skid Steer Loaders. Simply connect one end of the adapter to your Cat loader and the other to your 14-pin Bobcat attachment. Power on your equipment and begin working.

Compatibility Note: This adapter is not compatible with modern Bobcat 7-pin CAN-controlled attachments. A bypass harness is required for those attachments. Use the selector guide to determine the correct harness: https://www.skidsteergenius.com/pages/choose-your-harness-here

Cat 14 Pin Functionality: The Cat 14-pin connector outputs six switched ports (if ordered). Verify your machine has the necessary buttons to operate this adapter. This adapter has eight installed pins: Up/Down, Left/Right, right stick Up/Down, Ground, and +12 Volts. It also includes an extra power port on pin K. Adapters for 2025 models have the K to P pin installed for dedicated switched power on the 255/265 machines. A hidden jumper, located inside the female connector and covered with shrink tubing, allows for high-flow hydraulics activation. Remove the shrink tubing and insert the jumper into pin K or N on your Cat machine to enable this feature.
