[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 1511, member: 82"] I never did get an answer on this one, but the people i have spoken to just say “don't worry mate, it will be ok” so all i have done is used brute force to drag or push it. When the hydrostatic system is full of fluid the motors will refuse to move (well they do but VERY slowly) this isn't a problem on dirt, as it is sort of slipery and won't wear a nice flat spot on your tyres. I did have a quick go at un-doing the caps on the side of the hydro pump just to have a peek at the poppets, i put a spanner on then and gave it a tug... i thought bugger this and left it alone. Ohh, without oil, the machines like to run down hills!, i got an old 743 that had a fire, some hydraulic lines were cooked so there was no hydraulic oil in the system. The machine got delivered on a tilt tray and left on the hill with chocks under the wheels. I was using my other bobcat to try and close the bucket up so i could drag it up the hill then over the blocks she went and started to race down the hill! My mum was watching and going “oooooohhhh” but i managed to catch it with no harm done, it only got 5 or so metres from me. [/QUOTE]
