Massey Ferguson 165 Gasoline Oil Drain

I have a 1970's MF 165 and have been trying to change the oil. The manual and local mechanic say the drain should be on the side, but there is nothing there. There is a very flat warn bolt at the back of engine (first photo). It has been blocked by the front bucket supports. I just removed the bucket to get at the oil.

Is this correct plug? It has a very low profile and is indented into the body. Difficult to get a grip on. There is another more accessible side plug further back(second photo), but suspect this is not the engine oil.

I apologize for my ignorance, this is my first and only attempt at engine maintenance. The tractor is on an island and difficult to barge off for service.

Thanks

I say it's the bolt in the second picture, looks very similar to oil drain on my TO35 Ferguson,

Always wished I had a 165, maybe someday, they are nice tractors,
 
Thank you, that is very helpful. I suspected that the second plug was transmission fluid, but it was not in the manual diagrams. The oil drain plug is very low profile and recessed (limited side clearance), is there a trick or special tool to get it out? It almost looks like a thin sided spark plug wrench would work.

Thanks again for the prompt and helpful response.
 
Back in the day when we had a nearly new 50 it had a MF wrench that was 1 1/16 and 11/16, I think, open end. It would fit the hyd fill cap and the oil drain. Your oil drain plug probably needs to be dressed some with a file to get the correct wrench/socket on it especially if someone boogered it with a crescent wrench or sledgehammer.:)
Good luck with it!
