I can't seem to find the valve to drain the coolant. I checked the visible low points on and around the radiator and coolant lines. The manual references it and the drawing looks to indicate it's at the bottom of the radiator but I just dont see it.

Also what type of coolant goes in? My operators manual references the owners manual for this. I did not get an owners manual. I received and operators manual for the tractor and an operators manual for the loader.

Is an owners manual something I can get which would show part numbers for replacement filters and such?

Thanks

For who is interested I never found the referenced valve but there is a nipple with a rubber cap secured by a hose clamp that served the purpose of draining.

Its not in a great place to catch it so I recommend a length of hose attached to the nipple before you pull the fill cap off. It will barely come out until you remove the fill cap to let air displace the coolant.
