oil change on M5660?

[momark]

I have an M5660 and I was ready to change oil today. I noticed that the oil sump is split because the front drive shaft runs through it. There does appear to be a drain plug on each side which would make sense. But the owners manual makes no mention of a split sump or extra drain plug. Is anyone familiar with this model and this situation? Thanks for any info.

My last 2 Kubota tractors had 2 drain plugs. Kubota manuals have always had inconsistencies scattered throughout.
My current manual also states to "remove the drain plug" (singular).

I checked my manual and it covers all the 60 series, but doesn't have that model listed.

The 3560, 4060, 4760, 5060, 5460, and 6060 all have the split oil pump with two drains.

Ok guys, thanks. You would think they would do a better job with their manuals.

If you want all the oil drained, you have to remove the plugs on each side.
