Nifty Oil Drain - Briggs 5 HP

[Rail rider]

NPT is tapered.
Oh and get a Chinese made 10mm nipple!

Option D. 1/4" aluminum pipe (NPT), a drill and use a welder for the sealant

Yes! That's great, could use on my predator. The 90degree option could be of use as well...
I had a craftsman lawn tractor that had a drain plug sticking straight down! His oil was so easy to change, I miss him still sometimes, his transmission was bad...

Option D. 3/8 aluminum pipe (NPT), a drill and a welder for the sealant

Ummmmm, how about loctite?

Loktite doesn't make brightly colored light.

A funny thing happened the other day after seeing this thread, I went & turned up an extension on the lathe...

Made from 1/2" round bar, as you can see, I bored through the centre, it has an external thread on one end to screw into the block & an internal thread on the other to accept the original bung...

Thanks for this timely info. I just ordered two of the eBay units and, while it seems pricey now, I'm sure it will seem extremely reasonable two minutes into the first oil change, at which time I will congratulate myself on my wisdom and foresight.
