John Deere accident waiting to happen.

That's all I've bought for several years. Got tired of needing 6 for 1 from a new bag of LolingDongs or whatever. Snap apart like they were out roasting in the sun for 20 years.Probably ain't a Thomas & Betts "Ty-Rap" either chump.
I did get irritated when someone went in my toolbox and grabbed like 20 of them for some b/s, and then couldn't understand why I was making a fuss. "Over $1.00".l of zip ties.. refused to believe it was more like $10.00 and not the easiest to find.. and plus WTF, my ****, leave it the F alone!

Aren't most plugs "friction fit" I mean threads on a pipe plug work because of the high friction yes?Issues or not, that's an objectively terrible design - the worst I've ever seen for an oil drain. I'm with the OP, Deere or Kohler or whoever needs to do better than that. A friction fit plastic plug???
Don’t bring logic and truths into this argument!Aren't most plugs "friction fit" I mean threads on a pipe plug work because of the high friction yes?

You are getting subjectively and objectively mixed up.Issues or not, that's an objectively terrible design - the worst I've ever seen for an oil drain. I'm with the OP, Deere or Kohler or whoever needs to do better than that. A friction fit plastic plug???
The "objective" fact is that there hasn't been any failures of the design for anyone here yet and many others even over time periods that have exceeded a decade

It cost me a new $600 mower when I didn’t routinely change the oil in my mower. I didn’t think it worth it to put on a new engine versus a new mower. Sorry, but I don’t use the cheap Walmart mowers.Y’all actually change the oil in your lawn mowers?
I change the oil now.
