Rich Strukel

Dale, Thanks for the feedback. Next time I change the oil I will be a little more patient. My big trouble is getting this 76 year old body under the machine.

Thanks, I appreciate the advice. The plug has very fine threads and I am afraid of cross threading the plug.

When I removed the oil drain plug a metal strainer with a rubber washer attached to spring dropped out of the cavity plugged by the drain plug. I had to reinstall the drain plug without the screen assembly.

On my Coleman 550 I had a hard time reinstalling the drain plug and the spring loaded strainer after changing my oil. This is my first time I changed the oil. I reinstalled the plug without the strainer. Is this a problem?
