I found a leaking hose from just behind the hydro filter to the front, tore it out of the machine tonight. Plan on having a new hose made in the morning. When I removed the hose fitting from the front it drained close to a gallon and half of fluid. First, is there a main drain to remove the remainder of the hydro fluid? Second, type of fluid to replace (10W40)? I do have a new filter I plan on installing. Next, do I have to bleed the hydro system? If so, how? I do plan on ordering the service manual or stopping by the Bobcat dealer in the morning. I did have a 2001 653 that was a great, downsized for around the house/property use. Also before I forget, it seems to strain and will not spin on a dime. Seems to be a left side drive issue. Could this be due to the leaking hose (medium leak) or being out of adjustment? Thanks for the assistance, great website. -Jim</p></blockquote><p></p>
