2003 Big Dog Bull Transmission Drain Plug

[RWBischoff]

I may be blind - I cannot find the drain plug for my 2003 Big Dog Bull Dog Baker 6 Speed RSD transmisson.
There is an alen set screw located on the bottom between two other threaded holes - is this it?
Can someone help me and perhaps provide a picture?
Thanks - Ric

Look underneath and at the back of the tranny you will see a black hose attached to the frame with a plug in the end of it. Thats your tranny drain hose.

There's a problem, 2003 didn't have a RSD tranny...

That's what I was thinking.

Now this could be a problem cuz I have a 2003 and it is a RSD..

All 2004 Bulldogs had right side drive. I don't remember if any of the late '03 Bulldogs had them. These were not the BDM Balance Drive, and the Bulldog was the only model that had it. Regardless, the allen screw you are referring to is the transmission drain. Apply liquid teflon to the threads when you re-install it.The black hose that attaches to the frame is the engine oil drain.

On your side cover of your transmission where your clutch cable is you will see a series of allen bolts which bolts the cover to the tranny .... the bottom bolt in the very center is the drain plug .....

Thanks for the heads up on the '03 and '04 Bulldogs, I thought it was strictly '05 and up.

Guys... HONESTLY... I ve been looking but I cannot find it either.... Also I´ve been looking at the post from GasMan http://www.bigdogbiker.com/forums/how/10-how-service-your-big-dog.html and my 06 K9 has the oil lines in the way... Is that the draining bolt on the k9 too? I will try to attach a pic of mine... thanks guys.

Here it is and fun to get at... You'll need to remove that mount for the oil lines then reinstall

Thanks Earl!!!! WTF... I love BDM... nothing is easy!!! live would be boring if it was! Thanks brother.

That do be the little bastard. Don't be surprised if you have to cut/grind off the "short" end of an allen wrench to make it clear those oil lines. Good luck!

That is exactly where the drain plug is on my 2002 Mastiff 5 spd. LSD. It is a #40 Torx head plug and tighter than a bulls ass. Save your knuckles; Wear gloves .

Mine is between two bottom screws were clutch cable goes in it's an Allan if nothing comes out it's probably because they're is nothing in it. There's another one on bottom but it's hard to get to.you can't get all the oil out anyway gears and shafts and dog,s are covered many in a year it will run out lol
