Rounded off drain plug

[fried1765]

Wondering where this thread was. My oil drain plug is starting to round off, i might need some of these suggestions...

I am going to store this entire thread!
Who knows when I might need to refer to this information in the future?
After all: I do have one tractor that is already 68 years old, so possibly in the next 30 years I might need this reference material.
In 30 years though, I'll be 108 and likely won't remember WHERE I stored it.

If you want to remove the plug you need to turn pipe wrench over. Remember this old saying "righty tighty-lefty loosey"

Details, details. When I am laying on my back I get that I mixed up too. I pretend that I am holding a pickle jar upside down and trying to open the lid to get the direction correct

Certain i'm turning in the right direction. Same direction as the other 3 loosen. Wrong direction wasn't what broke it.

I add my vote for RODP II: The Plugging

We're going to need something when Kando gets that bad boy out.

I still vote for welding a new heavy pattern hex nut on it. If the stuck plug is malleable iron pipe plug he'll have to bronze weld it on. Low and behold, the heat from welding and it is now only finger tight.
