Here's a step-by-step guide to help you locate the oil plug in a Sears lawn tractor:
1. Park your lawn tractor on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
2. Allow the engine to cool down completely before you start servicing the tractor.
3. Locate the engine oil pan. The oil pan is usually a metal pan located under the engine. It is typically black or silver and may have the word "OIL" or an oil symbol on it.
4. Look for the oil drain plug on the bottom of the oil pan. The oil drain plug is usually located near the front of the oil pan and has a hex head or square head.
5. Place an oil drain pan under the oil drain plug. The oil drain pan should be large enough to hold the oil that will drain from the engine.
6. Use a wrench to loosen the oil drain plug and drain the oil from the engine. Be careful not to spill any oil.
7. Reinstall the oil drain plug once the oil has completely drained. Tighten the plug snugly to ensure that it does not leak.
8. Dispose of the old oil properly. Used oil should be taken to a recycling center or auto parts store for proper disposal.
*Note: Different Sears lawn tractor models may have slight variations in the exact location of the oil drain plug. Refer to your lawn tractor's user manual for specific information about your model.*
