Hi all, I just purchased my first skid steer: Clark 632 Bobcat. First line of business is to address a major leak from the hydraulic system. I was able to drive the machine when the hydraulic reservoir was full and the cylinders all worked well with no visible leakage. I pulled the chain case drain/fill plug and removed an excess 10 quarts of oil.
So my first question is: does that necessarily mean that there is a problem with one or both of the drive motors? Or is there another way hydraulic oil could be leaking into the chain case?
A follow up question regarding the removal of the drive motors: I have removed the transmission covers and it looks as though there are no brake discs. Could that be causing a problem with how the seals are functioning?
Lastly, I am in contact with a Bobcat distributor who claims the inline filter of the port block is no NLA… I haven't pulled it yet but am assuming it is dirty or clogged. Does anyone have a suggestion for where I can find a replacement? Or is the a good way to clean it?
Thank you for your consideration, glad to be a part of this community.
