Hello,
I'm fitting a new engine into a ride on mower, it used to be Briggs and Stratton and this one is a Honda gcv 530. It fits fine but the piece in the photo gets in the way of the steering rod. I am assuming that it is the oil drain with a bolt at the end to remove for doing this. If it were 2-3 shorter it would not get in the way and I wondered if I can either get a shorter piece or remove it completely at A and put a bolt in where drain "tube" originally joined the engine. I would then obviously have to rig up something to facilitate draining oil when I need to
Thanks in advance for any advice
