Not a real tough job. If you don't have a large enough crescent wrench or open end wrench to get the pan plug off I've used a large pipe wrench and cheater bar. Wish I knew what the heck he used to tighten the darn thing. The reason a 5 gallon bucket was recommended was because when that big plug comes out so does all 6 quarts of oil. whoosh, drained !! A regular pan tends to be real messy. You should have a metal strainer screen in the center of the plug that fits over the oil pickup tube. Just clean it out with gas or carb cleaner or whatever so it's nice and clean. Remove the nut on top of the oil filter canister on the left side of the engine then remove the small plug in the bottom of the canister to drain as much out of the filter as you can. Remove the oil filter. Wipe and/or rinse out the oil filter canister to get as much old sludge out as you can. Replace the oil filter cartridge and rubber canister seals and tighten down the lid and plug on the oil filter canister. Clean out the drain plug and put the screen back in then put the plug back in the tractor. Fill 'er up with fresh oil and you're good to go.
Good Luck, Lee
