Rounded off drain plug

[Diggin It]

^^ I think the existing plug is bunged up enough.

And I think we have enough wingnuts.

It's raining.

It's snowing here, or at least it was when I came in.

Also dark, just as it seems to be every night at this time.

So many posts now; I have lost track whether this method was ever explored:

1. Grind a flat spot on the face of the bunged up plug.
2. Find short piece of tube that just fits over the bunged up plug.
3. Get a transfer punch, same size as tube interior, and hit with a hammer to have a new center.
4. Drill out a convenient size hole to allow fluid to drain and let drain overnight into a pan.
5. Continue to drill out the bunged up plug till only a shell remains in the threads, caution, do not get into the female threads.
6. Using a small cape chisel and hammer and peck out the residual shell.
7. Using proper size tap and clean up the threads.
8. Now using one of the many ideas , in this thread (your choice), on replacement plugs and install it.
8. Fill the reservoir with the proper fluid.

This process has never failed me in 80+ years; on all types of machinery.

You are now back in business. DO NOT REPEAT the scenario that started this Thread. We will not have the patience exhibited by all your TBN friends and their long suffering again.

Has any thought been given to turning the tractor upside-down and draining the oil out the fillhole ???
I mean every other option you can think off has been suggested.:cool2:

As has that

What about filling the transmission with water to float the oil out and then boiling off the water. I don’t recall reading that suggestion.
