Onan Oil Plug?
Hey Guys,
I drained the oil out on my 982 for the first time last night. I realized the oil plug is in a horrible spot! I'd really like to install an oil valve so it's easier to do oil changes! I have 2 I'm looking at but I'm unsure of the size of the actual oil plug. I know I used a 3/4 socket to remove it but that is not what they show on the charts on the Valve site. http://www.qwikvalve.com/Heavy-Duty-...oto-Valve.html http://www.ezoildrainvalve.com/industrial-engines.html Can someone verify what size the actual plug is? I'm guessing it's a 3/8" NPT plug. but I'd really like to make sure I'm ordering the right thing the first time.

Well since you have the plug out take it to a hardware store and compare it to different size pipe.

I replaced the plug in mine last year. For some reason I think it had a flange with an O-ring. If so it wouldn't be NPT, possible NPS, not certain. I'm pretty sure mine came from Cub Cadet Warehouse, don't know if Cadet still offers it or not. I remember while draining the oil that it would probably be less mess to either pull the engine or drop the deck and mule drive. Some re-engineering is certainly in order!

Well, It's definitely not a 3/8"! I have some 3/8" bolts and nuts and it does not fit.. it's much bigger.
I need to go find my calipers!

A 3/8 NPT is not a 3/8 SAE ( bolt thread)
Go to the Hwd/home cheepo or Blows and compare or ask a friend Edit: Parts tree shows it as a fine thread headed plug, with "O" ring, as J.. Hall stated. So caliper and thread pitch gauge will tell you for sure. It will not be a pipe plug, unless it has been re threaded. |

I went to Autozone and picked up a new plug for one of mine.

3/8" bolt threads and 3/8" Iron Pipe threads (and sizes) are two totally different animals.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
