Hydraulic/Trans drain plug on F16d?

[jimmer2880]

I know this sounds like a very stupid question. But, for some reason, I just cannot find a drain plug on my F16d for the hydraulic/transmission fluid.

Also, I'd like to clear the pickup screen while I'm at it. Does anyone happen to know how to do that? I suspect, it may be a simple as somehow pulling the filter mounting bracket off?

The drain plugs are under the bottom of the axle housing back by the pto shaft. The hydraulic screen is on the left side of the transmission @ about 7 o'clock looking at the left brake housing. Remove the 3 screws and pull the screen out. The F16D also has a spin-on hydraulic filter, I would replace with an OEM filter.

Thank you very much. I hadn't looked that far back. I'll check this afternoon.

As far as the screen goes, I was wondering if that was it.

I was planning on changing the oil, and the filter, and cleaning the screen. WOW - that filter was expensive. I couldn't believe it. $60.00 at Napa. OUCH!

That's more than the OEM filter, be careful buying an aftermarket filter, some of the dealers are selling a one filter fits all for the F series and it may be too long for your F16D.
