Hi everyone, I'm new to the Forum.
I bought a 316 with an Onan 'P' engine to replace a 316 with Onan 'B" (no oil filter) that lost compression.
I can't get the drain plug out of the transmission case. I'm hesitant to use heat on the plug / case. I have a ceiling mounted hoist in the garage & am thinking I might be able to get most of the fluid out of the case by hoisting the rear of the tractor to about 60 degrees angle; draining out of the filter mount.
I'm also changing from Type ‘F’ to JD Hy-Guard fluid. I'm thinking of putting in 1/2 of a 32 oz. bottle as a flush before filling with Hy-Guard. I don't want to start the tractor / hydrodrive with this little amount of fluid in it; so I'm not sure how much value doing the flush will be.
Comments? Advice?
