My Hyd. filter came loose after I had a wheel motor replaced. They put a new filter on and it didn't leak right away but after about 15 or so hours, it blew the O-ring out of the groove. The O-ring wasn't damaged, so I put it back in the groove and tightened the filter. The filter bottomed out on the base. It's not leaking but I'm going to put a new filter on in the spring. The OEM filter is made by Donaldson but I'm going to put a Baldwin filter on. It uses a flat O-ring like an engine oil filter and not just a plain round O-ring. The flat ring is also thicker so the filter doesn't bottom out. If you run out of Hyd. oil in a skid steer, shut it off right away! And don't tow it. You will cause serious and expensive damage to the hydrostatic drives. The noise you heard was from the Hyd. pump(s)running out of oil. If you can wash/rinse the engine off should be enough to remove most of the oil. There isn't a big risk of fire from the oil. It will thin out and disappear from the engine heat. Was your filter a Donaldson? You can tell because it will have a cast aluminum head with slotted holes for the oil to go through. Donaldson is OEM for a lot of machines. Maybe their hyd. filters are flawed? Dave
