TC drain plug Standard or Metric?

[sweep]

I want to change the oil today on my TC45A and I put a 11/16 socket on the drain plug(s) but it seemed a little loose. Are these drain plugs metric?
Can somone tell me the metric size if they are metric?
Thanks

Virtually all of the fasteners/bolts on your tractor will be Metric. 11/16" converts to 17.46mm, so odds are pretty good that you would need a 17mm socket.

Yep it's metric. Messicks site said the drain plug is a M12 x 1.25. Looks like I will be needing to buy some metric wrenches.

As we used to say in the US Navy, you can always use a Crescent "hammer."

That is clearly an SAE adjustable wrench. Only Metric adjustables are suitable for compact tractor use.

Jinman, I spent some Navy time, also. On the Carrier, the tool is called "Adjustable Metric Spanner". hehe

Learning a new thing everyday, today is no different
I paid the extra $ and bought a combo metric/SAE crescent wrench.
