955k hydraulic tank drain

I am getting ready to drain my hydraulic oil and was wondering if anyone knew the size and thread of the drain plug on the front lower of the tank so i can make an extension to screw in to make it cleaner so i don't have to take a bath in it! Thanks for any help.

    i think it is 3/8" pipe thread, if you look to the rear of machine hyd. tank there is a valve and a small hole in the sheet metal, a 5 gallon bucket work's fine let it sit on the track , just under where the lower side panel bends, you will need a 9/16" socket too open valve, drains in about 30 mins and 5 or 6 buckets or you might have to remove louvered panel
