I'm a city boy turned farm boy. I bought an '05 Bobcat S185 from my neighbor. I have overfilled the hydraulic fluid. (Actually a helper did) The warning light is starting to come and is shutting down shorrtly after start. I tried to drain it off by removing the side plate between the two wheels and then removing the drain plug. About a gallon of clean fluid came out and stopped flowing. But the ball is still floating on the top of the sight glass. Do I get a suction pump and suction it out of the top fill tube?

Ok the machine does not turn off when the hydraulic oil is over full.
What codes are you getting? LH panel hold the Light button for 3 seconds when the machine has the issue present.
