TIME SAVING TIPS AND TRICKS FOR SERVICING YOUR TRACTOR AT HOME!!

What happens here

Place the drain pan directly under the engine oil drain plug, which is located on the underside of the engine. Use a ratcheting wrench with the appropriate size socket (e.g., 15mm or 5/8 inch) to loosen and remove the drain plug. Allow all the old engine oil to completely drain into the pan. This process might take several minutes. The video highlights the importance of checking for a copper washer on the drain plug. Once the oil has fully drained, clean the drain plug and the area around the drain hole with a rag, then reinsert and tighten the drain plug securely. Ensure a new washer (if specified) is used with the drain plug to prevent leaks.

Goal: Remove old engine oil from the tractor.
