hydrostatic transmission draining oil

[man00]

I plan on trying this next weekend (pumping oil) seen one video on youtube seem to work okay. If not I will drop the pan and clean filter or replace.
I guess the purging is pretty much the same on all of these

Yes lift tires off ground and run them forward and backwards 5 or 10 times.

worked okay with the pump I got almost 3.5qts out. All I did was pump all the oil I could from the filler open, then raise the front of mower as high as I could then pump some more...Runs great..seems a bit faster to me.

Ran all summer without any issue at all. I forgot to mention the oil was in need of change definitely not as clean as new oil.
