I am almost embarrassed to ask this but how do I drain the coolant from my X900 as per Kubota's manual? This is on page 81 of the ops manual.
What are they referring to, whatever it is I can't find it? I have drained the system before by pulling the lower rad hose, but what is this?

They’re trying to show you that there are two plugs (number 1)

The tail (left side) of the arrow is where they are on the tractor.
The head (right side) of the arrow is what it looks like where they are

There are two recessed drain plugs, located right under the driver's side floor. They have a 14mm head and screw into the coolant pipes running between the engine and the radiator.
The picture is a view from under the LH side of the RTV noting the exact location.

Thanks, Russell, I really appreciate your clarification. I just could not get my brain around what the manual was illustrating.

Now if you could only HELP the Broncos on Thursday Night Football.....
