agreed. So just start to chisel it out, maybe with a vacuum to try and keep debris from falling in?Time for the chisel. It was a crap shoot either way.

Follow up! As a temporary solution for keeping water out, I got a 1 1/8th adjustable drain plug, milled it down lightly and closed it . I was hoping for an aftermarket solution.

So can I run the tractor and operate the hydraulics with the adjustable drain plug secured?That is what is in my 1210.

Thank you for the idea about the rubber drain freeze plug. I used a 1 1/8th shaved slightly to insert and tighten.You may can put a radiator hose clamp around it real tight. Bump the knot where the screw is in the clamp. Since it is a little chewed around edge, clamp will hold. If you salvage it, get an aluminum or steel replacement made. Rubber freeze plug will work until you get the cap figured out. You may can find a bolt that will work, or make one work.
Take the cover off and then go to town, Hammer,, chisel drill whatever you can throw at it without getting any crud in the sump. Pics are self explanatory.Hi all.
Don't know if the hydraulic fluid has ever been changed. It must have at one point, but it hasn't been changed in at least a decade.
Trying to get the fill plug unscrewed and it's not happening. I used Kroil on it and it still won't budge.
Any and all suggestions are welcome.
Thanks for your time!
