There is a drain plug on the 1275s.
Not like the spigot on the early engines but behind the rear cab under
the head there is a bolt, I am not sure but I think a 5/8 wrench fits
it. Unscrew it and coolant should flow out. They are usually semi
plugged up, run a stiff wire in and out of the hole if it doesn't flow
freely.
This should be part of your annual coolant replacement procedure too. Or
at least every couple of years, remove that bolt and make sure the block
drain is clear.
