No, I don't have a book, so I do have some questions. On the front lower side of the Hyd tank there is a silver filter about 5" long and 1 1/4" wide. Is this a remove and replace thing or can it be taken off and cleaned? Next thing is how much of the old fluid do I try to get out? Is there a drain plug on the bottom of the pump or the big valve body? I was told that my present fluid is contaminated with water (condensation) so I want as much out as I can get. Hydrostatic fluid - Do I stick with the BobCat (liquid gold) fluid or is there another fluid or Hydraulic oil that is acceptable? Also, how much fluid do I get? 5 gal. - 10 gal? Anything else that a less than qualified person like me should know? I do know how to run it afterwards to get everything full and let the air settle out (a previous question here) Thanks for any advice.</p></blockquote><p></p>
