[QUOTE="jerry, post: 8923, member: 931"] Jason, keep in mind that I have never worked on a 500. The manual I had for the 610 listed the 500 also so I think they are the same machine just different horsepower motors. Good you stopped the leak easy. the hydraulic fill is on the left side of machine [I think} on top of chain case toward the rear it is a pipe fitting with a breather cap on it. Bobcat has there own oil but I ran auto transmission fluid in mine and it worked good. If you put too heavy a oil in it you will probably have trouble with clutch drag in the cold weather. With atf if you have a leak in the winter it looks like a blood trail. Most any hydraulic fluid should work as it has just a pump for the cylinders. The gas tanks are interconnected also although there is seperate drain plug on the bottom for each side for both oil and gas. The oil in the chain case is the hydraulic oil also and on the 610 the filter is under the machine about 4-5 inches in diameter and a foot long but not too expensive. [/QUOTE]
