  • Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

OK, what am I missing here...? Oil change on '13 te310

I've seen some of the other threads talking about what a pain it is to get that drain plug with the hose off and I agree; but why not just use the plug on the bottom of the engine cases to drain the oil? It doesn't mention it in the manual but is doesn't warn you off of it either......
 
I use it and changing oil is a breeze on the 13 310. Prior to '13 it had no sump plug. It was a failure at Husqvarna in not updating it's manual.
 
Draining that way is fine, but the problem is that you're supposed to clean the mesh filter at the PITA location, which requires removing that plug.
 
I will be checking that filter on occasion so not a problem. I believe one will more likely find problems on the magnetic sump plug and oil fllter than that debris dam from the breather seemingly designed to catch errant frame and rust debris from the top tube. One needs to be careful removing that filter though as debris can fall right into the sump on removal if there is debris in it.
