It’s Biblical.

Your M5400 and my M4700 are essentially the same …they share the same Operators Manual…the major difference is the same engine is operated at a (100) higher RPM to achieve another few HP (7) and torque (12 ft-lbs). The Ops Manual has instruct’s for 100 hr fuel filter cleaning and 400 hr...

You still reading this OP..?? You’d better use a helicoil and a sealing-washer or you’re an idiot….. Oh… Wait… No, that’s harsh.… ….If you’re still merely Reading…. (therefore you’d best not reply)….. Yeah. That’s the ticket. :rolleyes:

So-called ‘helicois” are intended for physical attachment…. less-so for leak-proof plugs. As before: Drill/Ream to the next larger size… Tap…and install oversized plug. IMO

#10 made perfect sense to me….it was #11 which I didn’t quite follow… Oh well… (”Yeah 85 your right it B LOW s”)

Nothing to contribute…except that the abbreviated wording only confuses… it doesn’t help understand. This reads like a “final-drive” differences issue…? (backing back out)

POLITICAL..!!!

I don’t see an advantage… but I see a potential DIS-advantage….. Damage to the Impact Wrench due to lateral-effort (pressing against the object) ….applied to a tool designed primarily to impart “torque”. The tool is not designed as a “hammer”. (I can’t tell the number of times I’ve instructed...

Why a good wife would fuss about a husband who loaned his RTV to her Father who damaged by inappropriate useage….. is beyond me. SHE should be the one to tell her Dad to “FIx it!” But… We are All Leaping to Conclusions. It’s in the OP‘s hands as to what to do and how to go about it. I don’t...

“I guess the only possible "hiccup" would be if a chunk of bolt/bung/nut breaks free and is in the oil pan.” @Runs With Scissors : A magnet should resolve that….and a spin on filter sits between the pump and the engine anyway…IF something should be picked up……. (doubtful).

I’ve got a set for sale posted in the OTT Classifieds: https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/new-telescoping-stabilizers-for-sale-cheap.67447/

Looking at the pic Wolfman posted…. I’d drill it out….and ream/tap the “boss” oversized…and install a new oversized drain plug…. before I’d do all that extra work of trying to remove or replace the pan. There are a number of aftermarket drain plugs which can do this job.

Exactly! The RTV series are serious Work Vehicles….a “cut above” the “Toys for Tots ‘n’ Teens”. it’s expected that operators are professionals or at least serious workers… not Destruction-Derby Do-Do’s. Any diesel which is submerged will suffer the same fate. John Deere Gators are not...

There’s a OEM snorkel available…it runs up the right-front ROPS to the roof with an umbrella top….but you can make your own with PVC pipe and hose clamps…..just make it 90-degree back downward at the top to keep rain out.

Depends work well for my older bro…. He hates it tho’….
