On my B2601 the owners manual shows 3 drain plugs for changing the trans & hydraulic fluid. I was checking the Messicks web page and it indicated there was a fourth drain plug towards the front of the tractor? Can any B2601 owners tell me how many drain plugs you removed changing fluids. Thanks

I don't have a manual but I would expect the possibility of one at each rear axle, one at transmission, one at mid pto housing. Dependent on design, transmission may drain through mid pto low point.

Unless they changed something on the B2601, my B2620 only has the three drains.

Changed mine several weeks ago during 50 hr. maintenance. Only 3 plugs (B2601), main one in the middle and two at wheels (one on each side). Also 2 filters...and lots of oil.
