New member here I have a 1984 441 mustang with a 4108 Perkins diesel that I am replacing I have the parts manual but can not find a service manual this machine was sitting for several years and motor was locked up I found a good 4108 with low hours from a sailboat I pulled the engine and pump skid together and swapped the motor so far so good but before I reinstall pump and engine skid I have some questions is the chain case fluid the same fluid used by the hydraulic system I believe is type f transmission fluid ? There is no dip stick on the hydraulic fluid fill how much fluid does this machine hold ? The fuel water trap mounted to side wall does it contain a filter element? Mine just has a metal cone inside inside. Cab where key is located there is a thumb sized rubber push button does anyone know the function of this button ?
 
If it's hydrostatic drive, there will be no clutches in the chain case, so cheap engine oil will be fine to lubricate the chains and bearings.
Bobcat have a plug on the chain case, you fill till the oil just starts to come out, does yours have something like this at all?
Hopefully someone with one can give you better advise.
Glad you got a good running engine to put in.

It actually has red transmission fluid in it and looks like the hydraulic pump pulls from this case

Ah, it may be running ATF then, i know older clutch machiens ran ATF.
Sadly, i heve never worked on a mustang, so hopefully someone that knows this model can give you better advise than i can.
