Foton FT404
I just bought a Foton 404 with the SL3105BT engine. This site has been great showing tricks to help with the tractor. I have changed all the fluids in the tractor except the oil in the injector pump. I found on an old page that you fill it by removing the little mushroom shaped thing on the top of the pump. I tried turning it and pulling up on it, but I could not get it to come off. How do you remove this vent to fill the pump?

If it is like some other chinese tractors it unscrews and a narrow wrench under the bell shaped top will unscrew it .

On my tractor the mushroom shaped vent is screwed into the top of the pump housing. In my case a 9/16" size wrench does the trick. Other pumps might vary of course, but thought I would mention it.
There should be a drain in the bottom of that pump casing to drain out the old oil. Again, on my tractor, the drain is a small bolt with a 10mm AF head. Small wrench size 10mm does the job nicely.
tractor components vary, but similar in many ways.

Yeah, the mushroom shaped thing on the top is the fill vent. There should be a small drain plug on the bottom, roughly opposite the fill/vent. There's another on the rear facing end. Remove fill/vent and both plugs, drain, replace bottom plug. Pour in fresh oil through the fill/vent until it runs out the side drain. Replace side plug, replace fill vent. Done.

it is how the others have stated however I would add that I was unable to remove my lowest drain plug due to interference with hard points. so I used a syringe and a small flexible fuel tube I had laying around from a chainsaw tank rebuild to finish sucking the fluid out of the bottom of the aft half of the pump.
