changing oil on L553

I have a New Holland L553 skid steer I haven't had it to long and need to change the oil but I cant seem to find the drain plug to drain the oil. does anyone know where its at and how to get to it. any help would be real helpful thanks.

A maintenance or operators manual might be in your future. That's what I had to do to find out about my machine. I ordered it online via digital download for same day viewing. That might be your best bet. Best of luck.

Jensales is where I got mine. Prices vary on model. Mine was 30 bucks or so. It's not an instant download, they have to email you a document. The big pain is that the PDF is password protected so you'll have to enter the password every time you open the file. I just renamed the file using the assigned password as the file name. When this proved to be too much of a pain, I printed the file and scanned it to a normal PDF for normal viewing. Don't get me wrong, I'm glad I got it, and the price was not bad either. I'm just trying to give you all the info. Best of luck.

Your drain plug is threw the hole in your rear skid plate. Don't be surprized if the hole doesn't line up with the plug in the oil pan. I had to drop the rear skid plate to get to mine. After the second time I measured how far off it was and made the skid pan hole longer. Mine was off by a couple of inches. I made a plate to cover part of the hole so something would not go up in it and poke a hole in my oil pan
