Deere 3020/500A trans sump screen location

Thank you,
Do I need to remove the rear tire to access and remove it?
I found some photos of the plug on the internet, it looks like a 1/2” drive ratchet will fit in the plug?
Curious why your tractor is green and not yellow?

You're welcome. There's no need to remove rear wheel/tire to remove hyd oil sump screen. One needs to drain hyd oil before attempting to remove the screen. Plug has a square recess that I think a 1/2'' drive breakover or ratchet will fit into the recess. Photo I posted is not my tractor but photo I harvested from another JD thread. JD model 510 which was painted industrial yellow @ Dubuque, Ia factory is very similar to JD model 3020 that was painted green @ Waterloo, Ia factory.
