He may not appreciate the attention.

Or he might have some ask-hole in him like me.

I used to go around the shop and ask everyone what they would do, then do what I had set out to do and everyone more experienced advised me against. Ask hole. Now I don't ask. Haha. If I do, I try to listen.

May have just been youth.

A mechanic mentioned in another thread might suggest a 1 inch drive pulled on by a backhoe to free up that plug. Or maybe it was tightened by a backhoe ? :laughing:

Apologies, work and life pulled me away. Plug is still in, nothing's been tried recently. Although I have made some hay.

No problem, we know you Kan do.

Learn to weld! Everyone that owns tractors needs basic welding. Any cheap 160+ amp stick welder should do it. Weld a piece of rebar or whatever to the thing and you'll have leverage, and have heated it up enough to break it. Maybe you'll need a buddy to show you how for this one but that's how to stop the wheel spinning. Good luck!

yeah, you just need a good 11 KW generator to run it, or buy a welder/generator..

Rebar would likely bend.

Good to hear from you Kando. You obviously started an interesting thread. Please keep us updated as you are able in between work and life and haying, etc.

I read the first 5 pages thinking how could this thread get to 41 pages to remove a bolt. Kan稚 Do has had the problem for over 3 months now.

I have never drained the oil out of my Mercedes and have 272k miles on it.

I assume this tractor has a dip stick? Use an oil extractor pump. Small plastic tube down the tube...apply vacuum and done. Simple, and little or no mess. KISS

Got mine from Northern Tool...Mity Vac
