Engine oil won't drain 1998 Case 580 SL series 2

[bigislandpaul]

This machine is new to me. I am trying to change the engine oil in a Case 580. I opened the drain plug and nothing comes out. It looks like there is a valve of some kind inside the drain plug. The dipstick says there's oil in it. I tried running the engine and loosening the oil filter. What am I doing wrong? I looked for a another thread but maybe this is too simple a question. Thanks for any help you can give.

Sounds like a drain valve. Probably just need the adapter to thread into it to unseat the checkvalve.

Thanks, I'll see if I can find one. Strange, the manual doesn't mention it, only remove oil drain plug and oil filter.

Could have been something someone installed.

Is it similar to this?

Can always try and unthread the valve out of the pan too if you had to.

I think you are


I think you are right. Here's a photo of the drain plug with the cover removed.

If you don't have the adapter to unseat it, just remove it like any other drain plug.

Thanks that's a good solution, since I don't have the adapter and they don't want to ship it to Hawaii.
