Drain plug location on Hydro?

Recommended Posts

plumb-r

I was wanting to change the hydro oil in My C-145 Auto, and was wondering where to drain the fluid from. In the hydro manual it looks like the Eaton 1100 has a plug on the back side of the filter housing. Is this the plug I should use to drain the fluid from? Is there another location with a drain on it that I could get more oil out of? Any help is appreciated!

Bottom of the transaxle housing.  Just to the left front of the hitch bar that goes under the tranny.  You need a 1/4" allen wrench to open it.  it may be packed with dirt.

Just a thought,make sure you clean out the allen wrench hole good so you get a good bite with the allen wrench or you can round out the allen hole and make removal much harder.

I. like said, clean out the hole first, then make sure my 1/4" hex head socket is bottomed out in the plug and use a long 3/8 ratchet to loosen the drain plug.

Don't get carried away and over tighten the drain plug when done or you may have trouble removing it the next time.:twocents-02cents:
