MF283.. it would crank, but would it start?
I think it might just be a regional thing.
My Georgia friends tell me that in their part of the world, crank means to start.
I grew up with crank meaning to just turn over.

I replaced the one on my tractor, which has the 3 cyl engine and was quick about it and only lost a little fluid. Had I to do it over again, I would drain a half gallon off, I would think that should do it. When I changed the radiator fluid, I put a small plastic hose on the end of the radiator drain and ran it into a milk jug, that worked well for me and there was no mess.
The manual for my tractor says to torque 3.5 lb-ft. I would think that would be the same for yours.
Sixdogs, when it get's tight, STOP. I tried to get a little more & it stripped & i wasn't using a lot of pressure at that.It's made out of brass which isn't that strong to begin with.

The number came from the JD manual ctm125 for my tractor. Please see the bottom half of the attachment.
It should have come with an o-ring.
What it is worth. I purchased one 9/2011 at that time the cost was $31.24
