Wrenching on the Broken John Deere Gator and our VERY ANGRY COW!!

What happens here

Before starting the oil change, the creator uses an 'Arcan Professional Tools' creeper for comfortable access under the Gator. He first loosens and removes the 14mm oil drain plug from the engine's oil pan, allowing the old oil to drain into an oil container. A key tip is to leave the screw top from the oil container in the pan to prevent accidentally dropping the drain plug into the used oil. The drain plug, which has a magnetic tip, is then cleaned and inspected for any metal shavings, which could indicate engine wear. He emphasizes the importance of a magnetic tip on all oil drain plugs. The old oil is completely drained.

Goal: Remove old engine oil from the John Deere Gator.
