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.

Oh boy..... we are now only 47 posts away from 1000 !!!

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.)

 

[mred2]

But WHO is going to supervise?

 

[airbiscuit]

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

 

[mred2]

But who will do the work?

I've heard discriptions of a group effort like y'all are talking about. Something involving monkeys and a bunch of footballs.:chimpanzee::chimpanzee::chimpanzee::chimpanzee::chimpanzee::blacksmith::detective::wizard::jester::footballreferee::wrench::magnet::magnet::magnet::hammer::twocents::shovel::yo-yo::melodramatic::hyper:opcorntub::scratchchin::duh:

If I was within 100 miles I would have gone about 837 posts ago. But then this thread would never have even come close to 1000.

I think that it's called a circle-
Oh wait a minute. If I post that I will be banned for sure.

Are you sure about the circle?
I was thinking it was more of a cluster- :laughing:

After 100 pages, I hope Kando doesn't get it out in 10 seconds with the right pipe wrench and say something like, "Wow, if I knew it would be this easy I'd have done it nine months ago".

 

[newbury]

I think someone should schedule a news crew to film it. Maybe get Geraldo Rivera to tape it.

I do not think there has been a consensus that it is going to be a pipe wrench. Kando should wait until everyone in TBN agrees to a plan.... oh wait... are they calling it a playbook these days?

169 miles....3h9m away from me according to Google.

Too much for me to treck.

But I guarantee if the tractor showed up here on a trailer....I'd have it out in under an hour for sure. And that's assuming worst case scenario and needing to weld to the plug

Pipe wrench? Too hard.

Drano removes pipe plugs.

If removing the plug or vacuuming the oil out was too much work you could just flip the tractor upside down and use the fill plug as a drain.
