I'm in the process of changing my HST fluid and filters on my L3800, and need to replace the two lower drain plugs/washers. For some reason I am unable to locate them on Messicks and Kubota's parts listings (too old and half blind, I'm thinking).

Any help with these part numbers would be greatly appreciated.

They do say options for #120. Probably serial number break. You'll need to call messicks to be sure.

Why do you need to replace the plug? They are pretty sturdy for what they do so just curious what happened to them to need replacing.

Bought a cheap socket from Amazon, that rounded the head on one of the plugs, decided to replace and get a spare.

I do have a good 6 pt socket set, but was lazy and grabbed the cheap one that was in my HST fluid change kit.

Oh, and that socket is now in the garbage for Wednesday's pickup!!

Yep. That’s why I don’t buy cheap tools! they cause more long term issues than you save in the short term…

I still have and use tools purchased over 30 years ago….

worth the cost!

I am going on 76 and most of my hand tools are over 50 years old, still busting knuckles as good as ever. ;)

Well, yes.. bruised knuckles don’t change much… unless, of course, you break the tool too! Then it hurts even more! 😁

Busted knuckles is why I avoid performing alignments, your rusted/abused vehicle can go elsewhere.
