Ray,
I'm also writing this while in the house so don't remember if they can be
mounted backwards without interfering with the front cover. You could just
cut the end off on the one nearest the drain plug as it does fill with oil
when you drain.

Ok, new question. I was sitting on the floor staring at the Eldo on the lift
and noticed that the skid plates stick out an inch or so in the back of the
motor. Looks to me like a real pain in the tush for getting to the drain
plug with anything less than a socket and an extension.
Also, the channels in the plates (or whatever you want to call them) closest
to the plug will surely fill up with oil as it drains making a real mess.
Any ideas here? Can they be mounted upside down to avoid the oil mess and
can they be mounted backwards to keep the long end in the front without
interfering with anything up there? I'm writing this in the house, of
course, and may see the light when next I go out back to the shop and stare
again. Would love to hear ideas. Maybe I'll leave them off. Don't plan on
doing much curb or stump jumping with this thing.
