The oil drain for the tractor engine is located on the engine oil pan. A guard covers the oil pan.The oil filter for the tractor is on the right side of the engine.Note: Drain the crankcase while the oil is warm. This allows waste particles that are suspended in the oil to drain. As the oil cools, the waste particles will settle to the bottom of the crankcase. The particles will not be removed by draining the oil and the particles will recirculate in the engine lubrication system with the new oil.
Park the machine on a level surface and engage the parking brake. Stop the engine.
