I was changing the oil on my bx1500, and when I went to put the drain plug back in found it won't tighten. I have a new plug ordered , but am afraid it might be the threads in the pan. I searched the internet for repairing drain plugs and found there are 2 possibilities, (save replacing the pan) one is a repair kit with a threaded insert with a drain plug, and a self tapping oversized drain plug. Anyone had any experience with either? I would like to add, that since I bought this tractor, the plug has not always come out easily, it breaks loose, then it's loose then tight, etc the whole way out.. This was only the 6th time I changed oil.(300 hours)
