I have ordered a service manual that is not here yet. 2005 T-190 gold pkg, 156 hrs, pristine, still smells new inside. Isn't there a small amt of oil to change in the drive motors? I seem to remember reading about it here a while back. Local Bobcat parts man says no, I must be thinking of planataries on excavators, but I am seasoned enough to trust my gut and investigate more. Once service manual arrives, I'll be enlightened some, but am I correct? If so, how often should I change this oil. I always change hyd and chaincase oil annually on my wheeled machines--never had any hyd or chaincase problems other than axle seals. I want to do the same"good" job of maintaining this tracked machine. By the way, this thing, if you can get used to the ride on hard/frozen surfaces, is AWESOME. Pushes like a dozer!</p></blockquote><p></p>
