Rounded off drain plug

[airbiscuit]

Maybe if you hooked a trickle charger on the plug the electric current would loosen the plug. Or you could weld the plug and pretend it wasn’t supposed to be there. Being serious now I’d probably vacuum the oil out and forget about removing it since this is probably the last time it’ll need changed.

Why would it be the last time i change it?

Kando, you feeling okay? I hope you have to change it a bunch of more times, unless a big ol' pipe wrench falls on your head. That's one of the reasons I recommend using a smaller pipe wrench :wink:

How often do you plan on changing it? Most vehicle rear ends never get the oil changed and transmissions especially a manual don’t get much more care.

I change the fluids yearly, in the spring, right now. Only running a 5 acre hay field, but I'm surrounded by larger fields that are family owned. The plan being to expand.

Whether it's necessary to change them is irrelevant, that's my current program.:thumbsup:

Wow....
I may need to go WAY back and read all of the 946 previous posts.
I thought we were talking about a drain plug for ....ENGINE oil.

Nah, just read his first post.:thumbsup: I can see how you would lose track though.

I thought they were implying you didn't have long for this world. I hope you at least live long enough to see it through to the end of this thread!

I can't believe that someone is not going to meet you this weekend with a pipe wrench and a welder. If I was within 100 miles, I would try to go, as it is going to rain all weekend.

I thought about it, but not with the cold weather. Maybe we should have a small get together there someday. :thumbsup:

. BYOPR. (Bring your own pipe wrench.)

But WHO is going to supervise?

Don't know who will supervise, but the safety police and fun police will be there for safety and security.
