129 k301 crush washer

Finally figured out where the oil drip was coming from as the plug was loose and the washer is torn. It feels like a hard plastic. Can typical crush washers be used? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

I use copper drain plug washers from an auto parts store. I never did trust plastic. Good thing you caught it, it doesn't take long for a quart or so to disappear.

That looks about the size of a crush washer used on the banjo bolts on disk brake calipers. you may have some laying around in your tool box.

Quick, cheap fix. An oil leak could get pricey in the wrong spot. NAPA had a Fishing full of copper, bronze and aluminum washers for just this purpose. Sure, no problem ditching the plastic

My 782D's Kubota D600 uses a copper crush washer.

On my 1282, I used a rubber gasket from one of my spare oil plugs from one of my GM trucks. It works fine.
