I'm still working on the bobcat, and I've got other question for someone out there. Can't locate the serial #, but the machine only shows 600 hours on it , was bought at an action, so could have been turn back, my question is ,what hdy oil should I use as a couple of the cylinder slowly leak down but don't leak out. I removed the main boom cylinder and replaced the seal, nothing look worn or damage but after I put it back together it still leaked down. The man that owns it told me that the hyd got very hot, he said someone esle that work on it told him to get some hdy oil that works with the cylinders and the transmission, he said it was pink in color, so he got some and put it in there, I don't think he drained and clean it out as it's not pink. I'm thinking that the hyd. oil is to thin and that is causing that leaking down. I've had different backhoe over the years and some of them took motor oil instead of hdy oil. Thanks for any help.
