Was looking for prior posts on this so I saw an older post talking about removing the clutch housing plug. My newer machine apparently has the split pin I can push to see if there is any water before having to remove the clutch housing plug.
1: Since its an HST, is that thing I am looking at really a clutch housing drain? 2: What is really under the plug if I don't have a clutch?
3: Why, as I get older, isn't this stuff any easier to understand?

Actually, on a L4701H it is a Flywheel housing.:D
All that is in there is a flywheel, splined hub, and a transmission input shaft.
