Thanks for the reply, but that makes sense, and I just want to be sure. I also can't find that fluid-level reservoir!

They were probably using the shop vac trick..... basically loosely duct tape the shop vac hose over the dipstick / fill port and turn it on. Then remove the filter... the suction from the vac "pulls" air back through the filter mounting stub.... it will 'gurgle' while doing this, but only a few drops of the fluid will cone out.I read some of the earlier posts talking about losing only a small amount of fluid. It could be that the layout of their hydraulic system is different from the one on the MT240HE, but it could be that they are talking about the smaller HST filter if they have the hydrostatic transmission and not the very large Hydraulic Oil Filter.
