D7E. Ways to drain coolant?

There should be a hole in the left side of the hardnose to put a socket on long extension through and get on the drain valve.

Thanks. I was looking in that area for 20min just going off instinct. I do have a PDF manual but the explanation is vague and picture is not good. There is an arrow basically pointing at the water pump and says "open drain valve"...... I guess it was not obvious to me where it was. I did pull a plug that looked promising but had engine oil in it. I think the head of the trans cooler but appears engine oil runs in there as well.

Hello fastline, the best manuals are the originals that are often found on eBay. You will need the D7E 48A books - D7E 75E1 - 500 equals D7E 48A6393 - 6882.
D7E 75E501 - up equals 48A6883 - up (high hp). There's also a lot of good info in the Operation and Maintenance Instruction book.
These are the manuals I found on eBay for my D7E 47A (direct drive). It took a while but I was able to find manuals in great condition for way less than repop books.
