Rounded off drain plug

   / Rounded off drain plug #121  
If you park that tractor on some friendly pallets, they will get the plug out while you aren’t looking.

Can't you just turn the tractor upside down and let the fluid drain out of the fill tube?:D

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.

What are ya trying to do, kill this thread? We need to see that plug come out!!! :D

Yes, square head.

Here's the current state of the plug. That bar should be removable, bolt on each end. The loader mounts to the frame on the front under the engine and to axle on the rear, just a support bar I suppose. Johnkn, I've tried those extractors as well, although the one I tried was the one that fit in it's current state. Once I remove the bar I'll look into using the next size down, 1/2". Bolt head would normally be 9/16"

When I see in the photo with this referenced post, the amount of thread protrusion makes me think someone screwed the wrong plug in at one time.

Could you post a photo or two of the other drain plugs

A tapered thread plug into a straight thread hole will certainly tear things up and create liitle metal one way clutch dogs that prevent unscrewing.

The other plugs are the same way.
