I want to replace/improve the "twist and pull" oil drain
I have a 2020 XT2 LX46 lawn tractor, and I hate the twist and pull oil drain. First, it loosened up and leaked some oil and made a mess in my shed. Second, I can never drain the oil without it leaking down over the frame, whether I use the plastic tube or not.
What I would like to do is install a short pipe that extends out past the frame so I can drain the oil into a drain pan without making a mess. I'm sure I'm not the only one who has this problem. Has anyone fashioned an easy fix?

Like Ironman says eezy peezy , but I went a slightly different route
Unscrew your oil fitting take it to a store that sells hydraulic fittings etc and get 1 fitting , one end same size as screw end of oil fitting other end with a hose fitting , then get the female equivalent of that fitting and a screw in plug All you now need is a length of hose and 2 hose clamps Sounds complicated but it is dead set easy and you can have the hose as long as you like No more oil on the Cub I have seen a number of machines that use what I have that where I got the idea Oz

Thanks. I was originally thinking of the first idea, but either would work for sure.
I guess I need to wait until the next oil change to screw out the current fitting to make sure about the thread size. Or collect the clean oil I just put in and refill with it.

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.
