He shows hood access, under-tractor drain plug locations (noting the split oil pan requiring two plugs), filter removal, fill quantity, and dipstick checks after running the engine. Useful for T474 owners doing this service themselves for the first time.

Two. The oil pan is split because the tractor body runs down the middle, so there is a drain plug on each side underneath.
The manual calls for about 1.05 gallons, slightly over 4 quarts, though the owner ended up adding about 5 quarts total to reach the dipstick line.
The drain bolts underneath are 17 mm, and it is a tight fit near the driveshaft that runs between the oil pan.
