Easier way to change the oil?
Original Message May 15, 2005 11:07 pm

Is there a device that allows you to put a tub down the oil filler neck and pump out the oil as apposed to going underneath? If not, there sould be! And if so, can you post a link, or brand name, or where to look for one?

Thanks again,
Brian

I still say that my funnel with the 12 inch long garden hose attached to it is fine for your purposes. I use mine that I fabricated myself and never have a problem. Why go and buy some mucky muck oi sump pump that may not get all the sludge out?

I can see the use of it in a busy shop, but I think I'd rather go with gravity too. This was a nice feature on the Briggs Vanguard V-twin on the Simplicity I just got. Then after your done changing the oil, it just tucks back up in. Kevin

Kevin, I guess you just turn that valve that in the engine with a wrench and then turn off the plug with another? It seems like that hose is just pressed on. Looks like that tractor is getting used.
