bobcat S150

Where is the drain for my s150 chain case? If no drain plug how do i get oil out to change?

Not sure on yours mine is in the front behind the bucket put you can buy a cheap pump that fits on a drill motor or put a hose to a five gallon bucker with the lid on hose close to the bottom then put your shop vac on the top sucking the fluid into the bucket

Not sure but the stainless steel utility pump from HF works better then I expedited for pumping used motor oil. Just make sure you use garden hose. I tried washer machine hose the first time but it is too small for the volume it needs. Happy

And still need to open it up and mop out with rags I put a earth magnet in my chain case to keep the metal shavings out of the mix

There is a drain between the back wheels. There will be a metal plate, remove it to see two plugs on either side. One is the fuel tank, the other is the chain case.
If you want to clean it out properly, remove this plug, remove the inspection cover under the cab and mop the bottom of the chain case out. I have even used diesel to wash the gunk out the drain hole after jacking the front up a little so it all ran to the drain plug.
If you remove this drain plug, replace it with a new one from teh dealer.

I changed the chain case oil in my S185 by removing the front cover,between my ankles, and had a small pump to pump it out. Easy, Read my owners manual
