Coolant Change

[mmann]

Thanks to you experts, my Cub project is going great. The next two items are fluid changes.

Oil change with filter job should be real easy.
Anything out of the ordinary should I watch for?

Next, the coolant change. I know to mix fluid with water before adding. But do I just remove the plug at bottom of the radiator, letting it drain?
What about the fluid in the block? Anthing out of the ordinary here?

I don't want to miss anything.

Thanks in advance.

If it hasn't been changed for a while (oil), there is usually some sludge in the bottom of the oil filter drain pipe. Other than that, it is a straightforward procedure.
The drain plug on the radiator casting is the low point of the system. Everything will drain from there. If you see a lot of deposits or crud (technical term), flush with clear water before re-filling.

The Bigdog knows. No flushing by running the engine needed, the drain plug is the low point on the system. Excellent.

Next project: lube the two back axle housings(?) that I read about in the manual.

thanks again, you are a confidence builder.
