LX885 Hydraulic Reservoir Drain Location

[StoughtonBruce]

Hi all. My maintenance manual says to drain and refill the reservoir every 1000 hours, but it neglects to say how. I bought the service manual but it too doesn't say how. An internet search gave wrong advice and I see a few posts here asking the same question but nobody ever answered this directly. I looked at a few parts diagrams for this model and didn't see a drain plug on the reservoir itself. Anyone have a good method for draining that tank? Thanks!

Found it! There is no drain plug as such. Page 6-109 of the service manual: With the cab tilted forward: (Not going to do this step) 1. Remove the rear engine belly pan. 2. Drain the reservoir by removing hydraulic line, 1, and allowing the oil to drain into a suitable container.
