Rounded off drain plug

[TimberHole]

Or maybe a trip to the dealer for a new tractor ....

I was going to suggest keep pouring the heat to it.......either it will break loose or the tractor will eventually burn to the ground. Either way way the plug will no longer be a problem!

Kind of need to tractor

Currently working on getting the tire tube replaced, and my truck decided to be problematic, cylinder misfire again. Problems pile on.

Once i get that situated, get the tube replaced, then I'll run the tractor up to a weld shop and see about getting a nut welded on and see how that goes.

If you weld a nut on the plug, you still have the tight space to get a wrench into, and the wrench may slip.

Instead, weld on a bar that can serve as a handle, or for a hammer to hit, where access is better. Drill a hole in the bar that the rounded plug fits into, then weld.

Or use a larger nut that fits over/around the plug completely and just weld the inside of the nut to the plug. Then it isn't hanging down any more than the plug is now, and will allow a larger wrench.

You're making this more difficult by having to drive the tractor over to a weld shop to weld a nut onto the plug. Just remove the plug and run that over to the weld shop. :thumbsup:

I know a lot of people use mityvacs for engine oil and transmission oil change. Could that work here to get the old fluid out?

I've used my little HF $5 hand pump to take a half quart out of my VW when they vastly overfilled it.
