Rounded off drain plug

[D2Cat]

To the original poster, I'd suggest if/when you take the tractor to the welder to get the plug removed, ask them if they can drill/burn a hole in the support so in the future you can get a socket on it.

Might have to do some bracing of the sides on the support if its got a hole drilled in it but thats a neat idea while the equipment is out and running at the weld shop.

Or simply use a hex headed pipe plug.

I feel for the OP.

He has to fix his truck
So he can fix his tractor wheel
So he can fix his tire
So he can drive his tractor to the welder
So he can remove his drain plug.

I've had days like this.

There's a Hole in the Bucket

Indeed. Waiting on stuff to ship. While the tires are off, I figured i may as well add to the project and look at doing the brakes. Simply can't be happy with one thing. New rim is on the way.

I saw a construction reality show a few years back and the homeowner shot a nail into his hand. They showed it. Cut to commercial and he's right back at it with a bandage the size of a salami. It was so painful to watch I flipped the channel.

Why go to all that trouble when the plug will turn right out with the proper tool? :laughing:

Like a pipe wrench?
