tipping tractor over

gregww · May 20, 2017

I have my MF14 garden tractor stripped down. The motor is off, front axle,seat, cowling is all off. The only thing left is the frame, transaxle, and rear tires. I would like to flip the whole thing over to clean and paint. My question is, will I hurt the transaxle with the fluid in it, if I flip it over? Thanks Greg

Can't be to hard to drain transmission, it's probably going to run out of a vent or the shifter.

Be better to drop the tranny. Not that hard. Then you can measure the
fluid and change it at the same time.

seeing the title of the thread, it wasn't about what I was thinking....
like the time that we stayed at my neighbor's 2nd home ("hunting cottage"), my wife and I went to town for supplies and we left my son behind as he was "busy" mowing, we got back to find out that he rolled the neighbor's Crapsman LT down the hill where "we" never mow/ that hill is left to the neighbor, my son didn't know where the "line" was.....
didn't hurt him or the machine....

Sometime during it's life, someone used a pliers or vise grip on the drain plug and rounded off the square head, I wasn't sure if I could get it out. I decided to try and was able to remove it with a vise grip, so all us good.

Just hang the frontend from the ceiling. Easy to work on. Put a pan under it to catch any leaks.
