[QUOTE="Fishfiles, post: 18833, member: 782"] Mobil Synthic 150 is the oil type and it is availbable from an oil distributor , best price I ever found was $1,480 per 5 gallon bucket and quit looking , which is alot cheaper than the Bobcat dealer ,but still totally ridiculus , using it 6 ozs at a time it would take years to use up 5 gallons , I just get it from the dealer and change it ever second oil change which is a 500 hour interval ,a few I know change it every 250 hours as they have had failures and are weiry , it only holds 3 ounzes per side , I'd bet since tracked loaders have came out I have changed at least 30 travel motors on Bobcats , there are OEM reman units available but the availablity is not always there form my dealer , it's hit and miss if they have a reman in stock -------T series is an expensive machine to up keep and repair ------I have never changed not one travel motor on a Takeuchi tracked loader and there are many around here , not as many as Bobcat but that still tells me something ----------- alot of people around here are going back to wheel loaders with tracks over flat proof tires and cutting the operating and maintance cost dramatically , ones that need to not mark the concrete and pavement are using the rubber pads on the tracks [/QUOTE]
