    Welcome to HEF, Mike ! Doesn't it have a drain valve ? Here is a link to the manual. https://www.manualslib.com/manual/555859/Bobcat-T190-S-N-531711001.html?page=106

    No valve

    OH No ! Could you explain the drain plug situation Mike ? There are ways to deal with them. Rounded off hex ? Or was it a four flat instead of a hex ? 3/8 pipe plug ?

    Hex. Behind oil filter and motor mount Just can’t get to it very well

    Just one? Is there another on the other side of the block ? Six point socket or box end wrench only on it, if you do decide to go after the one behind the motor mount.

    It’s a Allen hex

    Can’t find another one so thats my question Water pump bolt maybe and let it leak out there

    Or could I just pump it out from top

    Just loosen off the lower rad hose. Been there done it many times.
