oil filler kit yamaha 3000sIEB

Got a 22" stubby on the Kubota.

Try to get a correct drain plug to use as an example -- it helps. I had our local THE PARKER STORE make up my hose.

Onto the blind end of the hose I Red Loc-Tite fit a large bushing for the new drain plug. It allows me to get a backup wrench to help.

Adapter fitting - hose -fitting - ball valve - fitting - pipe plug. I loosely supported the weight of mine because it was overly long.

I also fit a remote oil filter adapter and ran that to a universal oil filter plate so the filter mounts vertically. The same filter as Qucksilver -- a Baldwin B97

Does anyone know for sure the size of the drain bolt?

Here is a direct link to the Fomoto valve:

We use them on our Concrete trucks.

Not the same Gen but the concept is the same.

Hmm, that might work for my snow blower, it has a drain tube. My generators drain is just a spout cast into the engine block, with a coarse thread plastic plug.

Hi GordonThree,

I think this may be the place.

Now, Do I need the 12 mm or the 10 mm?

I've never seen a flexible one, sign me up if the price is right.

I've just accepted that hefting my ef2000is up and holding it over a drain pan was the way the engineers in Japan wanted it done. Physical fitness sort of thing maybe?
