I've got a 1973 m 500, and i think the drive clutches need servicing. It seems to be slipping a little on one side; when both drive levers are pushed all the way forward, the bobcat always steers slightly to the right side. Does anyone have a service manual that covers the adjustment and service specs on this model? Also, what is the proper hydraulic fluid to use, we've been using automatic transmission fluid for the past 25 years?
