[QUOTE="ezridr60, post: 62587, member: 6308"] Update on progress. Got the machine in the garage and heater running. Cobbled together a "suck bucket". Works great! I've pulled out about 4 1/2 gallons of fluid, the right case is now dry, still some ice to thaw in the left. Hopefully melted by morning. Then it's been suggested by the guys that service this thing to throw in a couple of gallons of #2 diesel, run it around a bit to flush the cases, drain that and refill with 10W30. Just for the record, the chain case plugs on this machine were 1/2" sq. recessed head (similar to an allen hex , but sq.). And they came out really easy. I had ordered replacement plugs, mainly to see what size socket/ whatever was needed. They were 5/8" Allen hex, so much for prep! Once again, the "suck bucket" is a winner! [/QUOTE]
