kolher 14hp oil drain plug

[gordon 1]

I just got a c-141 with kolher k321as motor and was going to change oil, but i can't find oil drain plug. I look in service manuals and can't find it there either. If anyone knows where its located please let me know, thanks Gordon

There should be a tube, strait down from the bottom of the oil pan with a cap on it, most times the tube comes out with the cap.

That's how it's set up on my C-105 also (K241 engine). If you have a mower deck installed, you might want to remove it for the oil change, so you have room to slide a drain pan directly under the engine. You don't want to spill oil on your mower belts, plus it's a good time to check out your deck more carefully.

And , wherever your shed is located. :)

You might not have the drain tube. Could be a replacement engine or tube was damaged and removed.

There will be an oil change plug in the oil pan. I had a 25hp Kohler, had to add my own tube. Oil changes without the tube were a real pain in the you-know-what!

If the drain tube is missing, replace with a street elbow, nipple, pipe cap (ref. items #'s 18, 13 & 12 on the drawing).

For starters take a peek-a-boo on the Kohler website; Item 6.

My 14hp Magnum has a tube that has a 1/4 turn cap at the end. The tube extends off the side near oil filter. Although other models had the standard square plug, which like Tankman has mentioned could be a real pain to change the oil.

Totally different set-up than a solid-mounted engine with the big oil pan.

The C-141 has the smaller oil pan / rubber-mounted engine. As previously stated, those models would originally have a pipe nipple, a coupler, and an allen head pipe plug sticking straight down out of the bottom of the pan.

Thanks for the help, with a putty knife & trouble light I found the plug, previous owner removed the pipe and it was just the allenhead plug in the oil pan. again, thanks to all who replied.
