Kawasaki FS691V question

Hello all. I have a Kawasaki FX691V engine on my Gravely Pro Turn. I want to add an extension on the existing oil change tube, so oil runs off into a pan, and not on the mower deck. I wanted to extend the already rubber existing line that came with the mower and just screw an extension onto it. I realize I need a female coupling on the end that would screw onto the existing tube and the other end would need a coupling that can accommodate a plug. Does anyone know what size the female end would be and the thread dimension? Is there anything on Amazon that would be readily available?
Thanks for any help.
 
Have you checked into a Form A Funnel? They are much better than adding drain extensions. Drain extension are prone to get snagged or damaged and cause a sudden oil loss which could cost you an engine.

Or vibrate off and lose your oil. Mowers bounce around all over town.

If it was me, buy an oil or fluids evac pump. Or make one out of a shop vac, cut off soda 2 liter bottle top, quart jar and lid and some clear hose. Evac the oil out through the dip stick holder.

The Form-A-Funnel idea is the most practical. You can also make one using heavy duty aluminum foil.
