Ay, Yai, Ayi! 15 pages of the same suggestions over and over. If I wasn't already several thousand miles away from home baking my brain in the sun and surf, I'd fly myself home, get my Snap-on tools, fly out to wherever the bolt is and remove it- if for no other reason than to put an end to this thread. We're using up what's left of the space left on the internet here guys!
What is the urgent need to replace the trans fluid on this tractor? It's probably been in there since factory new, right?
Order of priorities: 1. fix truck. 2. take tractor tire and tube and wallet and 'ole Yeller to store and get tire and tube attached to rim. Buy xtra qt. high fat milk. 3 drive home. Put key in tractor ignition, put wallet in overalls, put air in tire/tube. Unlock barn- let tractor out. Drive tractor to Jefrows and have him weld one of his nutz to the pointy thing where the trans drain plug used to be. Pay Jefrow 295/380 whichever moves him, and head back to barn before the vandals tie 'ole yeller to your truck and go moonshinin' up in dem dare hills!
Case closed, thread over- peace in the known Universe.
Oh wait, all other drain plugs may be the same- but they're WRONG too! Those protruding threads indicate, IMO, pipe thread plugs jammed and overtightened into the holes where correct plugs should be. Part of why you can't get the plug to back out. If there was a problem with someone sabotaging your tractor; chances are they did it to ALL your drain holes....just saying....show us pics of the other plugs in the other holes.
