[QUOTE="cdmccul, post: 127824, member: 9318"] I know it's a dead horse... But your post above contradicts itself. And the dealer was of no help. "Yes, we see it is to use 'this' and 'this'." "Ok, I'll take both." "I'm sorry, that isn't available any more." "Ok, then what do I need???" Your own post also says "designed for something that doesn't exist any more" (paraphrase) I think what the OP is asking, as well as everyone else of read on here asking this, is "the recommended product doesn't exist any longer. Now what do I do?" Even a product called the same thing 40 years ago that DOES exist (like, "10w30"), isn't the same thing. So then what??? We still call it "Coca Cola", but a can of Coke from 1980 isn't the same thing as the can of Coke you can buy today. Same shape can, nearly the same logo. McDonald's iconic French fries aren't the same. Etc etc etc. So, as we all want to know, oil is cheaper than pumps, so what oil so we use to give the pumps the best chance at long life? Honestly, I'm leaning more towards the super premium tractor hydraulic fluid that places like NAPA sells that is the equivalent to the fluid Johnn Deere sells. I haven't done the looking to see if the Bobcat hydro fluid is the same spec as the Johnn Deere, but that's the next thing I'm doing before I get my machine down for maintenance. (I have some frame cracks, I need pins done, and I now see I have a cylinder cap leaking) [/QUOTE]
