on the picture where there is shown a hydraulic oil. you need to measure the drop and assembled boom. The oil should be in the green patch.

Well after a ride on the trailer it suddenly showed up in the green area. It looks like the background is actually white and the fluid is yellow. I've only seen it as all yellow so I guess it was over filled to start with.

I went by the dealer and they are supposed to be getting in contact with Bobcat about the mystery material found in the hydraulic filter.

Can you say it another way my friend? I don't understand.

Sorry for my bad english . If you work with attachments ,external hydraulics, first cleaning fast connection.

No problem. I have not used any hydraulic attachments yet. They system has been contained since the day I picked it up at the dealership. I still haven't heard anything from them.

Yes they checked all of the numbers in an attempt to cross reference to a similar equivalent of the fluid. I spent nearly an hour at the parts desk. It's crazy that there is no specification on what the stuff is.

The hydraulic fluid, oil, and filters are all Bobcat brand. It blows my mind that the gear oil has to be ordered in such a large quantity (like the dealership doesn't have an account setup with them). I may call the dealership in Tulsa and see what they know.

Bobcat has changed a lot of part #'s. Bobcat has an online parts look up that might specify but the service manager should know. I go through this often when I need to pick up something that's not real common. My service manager and parts manager will work together because those part #'s change and it gets confusing.

The part number is still good. My dealership just has a problem with ordering it for some reason. Seems to me that this is the product they should be using in the service department instead of whatever off-brand (not genuine bobcat) that they are currently using.

It is NOT 80-90 gear lube it is differential fluid intended for use with wet disc brakes. Use of normal 80 - 90 gear lube will cause swelling and deterioration of the brake discs. Bobcat first stated selling this for use in the Toolcat and Vershandler, both have differentials with wet disc brakes. At that time the label on bottles was marked Differential Fluid. After Bobcat started carrying a tractor line with wet disc brakes the label was changed to Transmission/Differential Fluid to help signify it is also used in the tractor transmission/differential. Part number 6687120 is for the 1 quart bottle shipped from Bobcat Parts in case lots of 12 1 quart bottles (3 gl). There is also 1 gl. bottles shipped 4 per case or 2.5 gallon jug shipped 2 per case and can be purchased in single case lots.
While Bobcat may have fine tuned their recipe of additives to enhance the fluid for use in various applications it is still a premium quality UTF (Universal Tractor Fluid).

This is what I was looking for. Thank you!
