When doing a complete hydraulic oil and filter service on a TLB48 does the backhoe oil drain along with the rest of the tractor or does it have to be drained separately and if so how? When I bought the sudt2 and filters the parts manager told me that the 13.5 gallons of oil needed for the oil change included the backhoe. Guessing that if it does drain with the rest of it the boom, dipper and bucket all need to be in the tucked in position? Could not find any info on this and would appreciate any feedback!

I would not expect any oil to drain from the backhoe.

As suggested above, there is no separate drain for the BH.
A small amount of oil will be trapped in all cylinders/hoses, and that is simply not drainable.
