Replacing Bobcat Case Drain Filter I picked up a used 2005 Bobcat T190 and as part of the process of getting it ready to go, I am changing all the filters and as many of the fluids as I can. I was able to change one of the case drain filters easily enough but the other one is a little more difficult. It is directly connected to the hydraulic reservoir tank and I am not sure how to remove it. In addition, it has 2 hoses connected to a T fitting on the input side while the service and parts manuals show only one hose. Since I don't like to try to remove old hoses unless I make sure I can replace them if something breaks, I am a little confused as I can't identify one of the hoses. Has anyone replaced this filter and has anyone run into a situation where the machine does not match the service and parts manuals? I am looking at the manuals that match my serial number so it should match up. Any ideas? Paul
there were several SN breaks on hyd systems, you may be looking at the wrong hyd diagram the case drain simply unscrews from the fitting :drinkup
Thanks CrewChief, I do see several variations in the parts manual based on S/N but I am looking at the right one. The only version with a T fitting at that spot is for the SJC controls which I do not have. The thing that confuses me the most, however, is that even the parts manual page with the T connector shows only one hose connecting to the T. If something were to break on the other hose, I have no idea what the part number for that hose is. Weird. I'll just remove the hoses and change the filter and hope I don't break anything! Paul
