It pinpoints the two filter locations, the drain plug, and the rear fill point, and notes that Bobcat proprietary fluid is required because no weight spec is published. The dipstick access procedure behind the PTO housing is a useful detail. Best for CT1021 owners who need a quick visual orientation before tackling this service themselves.
Posted by the Nick Ramirez channel, with no channel description available, though the casual tone and hands-on context suggest an owner rather than a dealer or professional technician.
Loosen the small housing that protects the PTO, pull up the cap which is a dipstick, push it down, then check the level and tighten the bolt back down.
It has to be Bobcat brand hydraulic fluid because Bobcat does not publish the actual weight to use.
There are two filters, one located as you get under the tractor and another located up higher, both needing replacement.
You fill it from the back of the tractor at the rear fill point shown in the video.
