When we get to post#1990 let the flea bay sniping posts begin...for that free toast.....aaaaaah....!
Get ready to r--uuuuuuuuu---mmmmm-bull.......

We need a pic from Kando of the new drain plug (another square head?), and what tool he plans to use to remove it the next time.

It also had to include cutting off the plug to be winner winner chicken dinner :thumbsup: SO WHO WAS CLOSEST?

WAIT WAIT WAIT......
The winner gets a chicken dinner?!

A chicken dinner fried in the oil behind the plug.....

The chicken dinner is the culmination of an all expenses paid trip to Gary, Indiana ..... by bus.

And I think it was me that suggested the Illudium Q36 Explosive Drain Plug Demodulator (aka, complete destruction of the plug beyond reuse for anything).

Kando could predrill a hole in the NEW plug to accept an extractor and use a plastic plug to seal “until the next time”.

Kando could predrill a hole in the NEW plug to accept an extractor and use a plastic plug to seal ç*¥ntil the next time?

I was wondering if Kando had the same gorilla tighten the new plug that tightened the old plug :confused3:.

If so, we can start over with how to get the second plug out :drink:

I thought I read he had used a tampon in the hole this time!

Maybe, if you figure out how difficult it will be to get that cross bar back in place and if any additional help or tools will be needed.
I have a 3' pipe wrench, mention long ago, that should work. Proper tool for the proper job.

C'mon Mate. If this entire thread has proven anything it's that the pipe wrench is a 'tool of the past', forever to be relegated to a museum display in a curiosity shop and/or gathering an inch of dust hanging, forgotten, on a peg-board in your workshop.

Were it not for this discussion I would not be the proud owner of a (far superior) "Knipex"! [Which I haven't had to use yet... but I have one!!!]

Far from true. The knipex are a sweet tool but can’t take anything close to the toque a pipe wrench can.

Maybe it does not need to

Maybe it does not need to

Maybe Wonder Woman could grab it tight enough with her fingers that, with a simple twisting action, would get it started.

Next time it happens pull the fill plug and tip the tractor over!

Since we are already talking about next time, Kando will be happy to know he is voted in for a second term :thumbsup:

Brilliant ! :thumbsup: :laughing: Plus to get it to the land of OZ you probably paid a little more ? I just hope you bought the Knipex model made for "south of the equator" !

 

[Jim Shooz]

I don't know if they make hand tools for "south of the equator" but to get them right we would just use them upside down. I know they put the steering wheels on cars on the right hand side for us, and they must do the same with motorbikes. Ive never seen a lefthand drive motorbike here.

:laughing: How about a motorbike with a sidecar mounted on the left side ?

 

[Jim Shooz]

Yes but......If the sidecar was mounted on the lefthand side, the vehicle would still be controlled by the person on the right. So would still be righthand drive. Besides sidecars around here are as rare and the proverbial rocking horse cr*p.

Nah, made sure to go with finger tight, then a quarter turn by wrench.:thumbsup:

 

[airbiscuit]

I had a friend who said:

• What ever it is, run it wide open until it breaks
• I tighten bolts down until they strip, then I back off a quarter turn

My philosophy: Get as tight as you can, then go another round
Then if it doesn't go, get a bigger hammer
