[QUOTE="strokin83, post: 51480, member: 6953"] Thanks guys I appreciate all your help. I ordered a bobcat service manual so that will help. The machine has 3200 hours on it. I'm pretty sure the previous owner only owned it for 200-300hrs and he wasn't very educated on maint. I changed the oil and the fuel filter. I replaced with Napa filters since they were a heck of a lot closer. I priced the hydraulic filter today and it's $56 from Napa that kinda blew my mind. I've heard some people say to run only Bobcat hydro fluid and I've heard of others running 10w40 what is the cheapest and best? I plan on doing a hydraulic fluid change soon since the filter was dated back in 2007. Overall the machine is in good shape. The only thing that has me concerned is how much it smokes when your moving forward fast. It's black smoke kinda like it's over fueling or something. It doesn't smoke at idle but when you push the controls forward it smokes and sounds like it's bogging a little bit but it moves fine. I was unloading 2000lb pallets off a truck today and it acts the same loaded or unloaded. I guess we'll see what happens. The other issue is that the Parking brake doesn't work.
