Rounded off drain plug

[airbiscuit]

HA,you should have been around when the farmer came here needing help with his donkeyl:donkey: with stopped up plumbing. A few suggestions were evil,a few down right inhumane and a bunch would be worth price of admission just to watch.

Maybe there is something to be learned there. After all, a donkey is just a manual version of a tractor....

I heard Lifetime was working on turning this thread into their latest Christmas movie! In the end, Santa replaces the old plug with a shiny new gold one!

Yes, square head.

Here's the current state of the plug. That bar should be removable, bolt on each end. The loader mounts to the frame on the front under the engine and to axle on the rear, just a support bar I suppose. Johnkn, I've tried those extractors as well, although the one I tried was the one that fit in it's current state. Once I remove the bar I'll look into using the next size down, 1/2". Bolt head would normally be 9/16"

Wouldn't it be a hoot if for some odd reason that plug was a left handed thread and all this time he's been tightening it?

Well, we actually dont know which way hes been trying to turn it - - although its observably a right hand thread.

I wonder if Exlax in the oil would do the trick :confused2:

Drop the oil pan. Weld a second drain where it is accessible. Reinstall the pan. Refill with fresh oil.

And use a Fumoto Drain Valve if it will be protected by that crossmember.


That was easy!



(No I haven't read the first 500 or so posts. I just noticed the thread today).

Well it is obvious that you (and many others) didn't read the first post.

There is no pan on the transmission.

It fits with the joke the thread has resolved into.

. . . OP is long gone.

The OP was on a couple of days ago. I think he still wants to remove the drain plug out, he's just not in a hurry. There are probably other things in his life that are a higher priority than this. In the meantime, we have this thread for our interest and amusement

...It fits with the joke the thread has resolved into...

When threads go south they usually either get locked or turn into an absurdity contest...with the latter being a symptom of misbehaving at adult day care also known as an Internet forum...
They turn into yuck, yuck, yuck post contests that make Forest Gump look like a genius...

Agreed, however, I have every belief that Kando will eventually get that drain plug removed, and I'd like to hear the end of the story. In the meantime, there's nothing wrong with a little entertainment.
