Northchannel, yesterday I read a forum post about a Universal M25 diesel with the same problem as yours. His oil drain plug vibrated (further comment withheld) loose and fell out. You have the same threaded plug immediately behind the flywheel on the starter side of the engine.
OIL GONE! ZIP! NADA!

It has occurred to me after looking at this kind of job, what likely was the cause of the cracked oil pan. I can imagine a pry bar being slipped under the engine in either the installation or in the shaft alignment. Looking closely at the pan I see a gouge where the crack is. FYI don’t pry your engine into place with metal bar!
