If anyone has suggestions on putting an extension on the oil drain plug that would be of great help. The adapter stocked with the mower is useless and a mess.

Can you put a pipe extension on it? I did that with my snapper riders so the oil wouldn't drain all over the frame.

Mine is a 48 Intek . The drain kit works but is messy. Try jacking the drain side up so the pan level might be below the plug hole then gin up a tube on a hollowed pipe fitting. Lower the jacked tractor to drain. The biggest PIA is no room to put a standard catch pan underneath. At best a PIA. Good luck

Welcome to the Forum!.. Yep pipe it out past the frame.
