Rounded off drain plug

Wake me when this thread eclipses the standing pallets in the field thread.

The most important thing is adjusting the jaws for maximum squeeze.

If wrong the sliding jaw will hit the edge of the fixed jaw and quit squeezing.

Which is why I suggested the "Best Grip"... it squeezes itself with the 'jaws' of a pipe wrench.

Heck, even Fried can't complain as his "Ridged" manufacturer makes a version.

That's why I believe that NYLou's suggestion bears a lot of merit.

Growing up and acting all mature is vastly over rated.

I'm having a great time retired and playing with all the toys I couldn't afford 40 years ago. :thumbsup:

There is a big difference between "letting out the inner child" and those that think they're comedians posting stupid nonsense that most of the time is not funny...just infantile...

Next problem could be that as it's small now, then Kandy saying he is going to take off more to get some gripping edges and it's very tight that when the pipe wrench gets a good grip it just twist off the remaining metal. Then we will get 500 post on how to get it out with an easy-out, which size to use, best brand and what type of wrench to turn it with!

No, it'll take 500 post to determine how to get the support piece out of the way first.

Wow is this thread still going?

Hopefully by then somebody will come over and weld a nut, or handle, onto the nub for him.

Kando, wash the tractor thoroughly so there's no oil dribbling down there and the eventual, unavoidable welding doesn't set it on fire! That would start the drama all over again.

Crikey! Now you'll start a 235 post 'discussion' on how to thoroughly wash a tractor.

The most important thing is to spin it in the correct direction.

A pipe wrench is the only tool for this job. Throw all the other pliers away. If the op had started with a pipe wrench this thread would have never existed.

The pliers I prefer would work just as well, but they are kinda pricey....KNIPEX Tools LP - KNIPEX

Tips for spinning the tractor? With the recent snowfall it should be easy enough.

For the posts voting again grinding a flat edge on the plug, I'm not planning on taking anything more than the amount built up from previous attempts.

Wow! I sure hope that field was his.

Ok, so turning the wheel sharply, holding down the brake for the tire in that direction, put it in 5th, throttle up and release the clutch? Got it!
