Default KT17 Oil Fill plug size

What is that Plug size please? I'm looking for a replacement that doesn't have a 5/8 square head on it. I don't have 8 point sockets and I would like to make it easy for my wife to top off the oil. A simple wrench is a bit spastic with the air cleaner and Engine cover surrounding the Fill Plug. . it would be nice to drop a socket straight down on the plug.

Is that 'extension' the part that was on the 782's? Mine just has a Plumbers plug. Stock or just someone 's brainstorm, that is a nice idea... Get the screw off end Up and above the Engine Cover. If I knew the thread size on the engine, I could make one of those easy enough.

3/4" tapered pipe. perfect. I'm too far away from the machine to pull it off and run to the store. I'm home and the machine is 200 miles away. I try to prepare at home before heading up most weekends. I was thinking of doing a Fill mod and then realized I didn't know the thread size

THANKS

I got a 3/4" pipe nipple and cut a small "V" in it and welded it up, literally making the one pictured on ebay.
I used a 3/4 pipe cap as a closure.
@ the time I needed one, there was none on ebay.
But for what little they go for on ebay, it is not worth the effort to make one.

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.
