[QUOTE="bobbie-g, post: 108994, member: 26"] I'm not familiar with a 453, but the larger machines don't have a filter associated with the chain case. Chain case is simple: just a housing full of oil that the drive chains and sprockets run in. At the 1000hr service, some of us drain/discard the chain case oil and refill with the used hydraulic oil, then top off with the cheapest new motor oil we can find. -- On the larger machines, there is a pipe plug as Tazza said at the front of the machine for a fill port. Oil should be at the bottom of that hole. Drain plug on the larger machines is under the back of the machine, about centered side to side, and under about the fwd edge of the engine. Remove a flat steel bar (three bolts) to find a couple of rubber grommets with steel plugs in them. The chain case drain is the one in the steel housing, and the plastic housing is the fuel tank. But again, this info refers to larger machines, I don't know about a 453. :-) ---Bobbie-G in Trinidad, where you located in CO? [/QUOTE]
