How to service a tractor......with a disappointing ending 😬...uh oh!! PROBLEM!

What happens here

Locate the hydraulic/transmission fluid drain plugs on the underside of the tractor's casing. There may be multiple plugs. Position a large drain pan or bucket underneath to collect the fluid. Use a socket or wrench to remove the drain plugs and allow the fluid to drain completely. The fluid will be a dark color. This process can take a significant amount of time due to the volume of fluid. Once drained, clean around the drain plug areas and reinstall the plugs, tightening them securely to prevent leaks.

Goal: Remove old hydraulic/transmission fluid from the tractor.
