Farmall Super C
Hi everyone. I am new here and have a new to me Super C that I am trying to make some simple repairs to. One problem I have is the petcocks for the oil level are broken. Any suggestions on how to replace them? I have the new parts but can't seem to break them loose and the valves are jammed tight so I have no way to open and check the oil level.

I'm open to some one who has an idea.

The originals have left hand threads, so you need to turn them CCW to check the oil, if there is enough left to get a set of vise-grips, etc. on.

To replace the complete petcock, a small enough pipe wrench to get hold of it backs them out. There is a threaded insert on the inside of the oil pan they thread in to.
