I used the front end loader to flip mine over, change blades, tighten gearbox to deck bolts etc., I can set it so the filler plug is a drain when upside down, at the lowest point, just found an old lifting eye/tie down from a '55 ford truck that was made into a trailer, will weld same in appropriate place on deck to make an easy pick point. If no loader, just vacuum/suction it out like Allan said, maybe flush, repeat, did mine last year, it sat upside down for awhile as I did all the repairs it needed. If using an electric drill type pump, remember not to pump anything flammable, if flushing, I like flipping mine over and draining, next time will do after mowing.
