Could you imagine a show these days having a husband hold his fist up to his wife like that? Times have changed.

One day we're going to get an update and it will be Kando saying he has done. Have faith.

I think he's been out there tractoring for weeks, but when he returned to post that fact he read this and threw up his hands in defeat.
(or maybe De Feet, as Tatoo would have said.)

Hey, kudos to Kando for remaining a good egg through all this. Many (most) would have simply exited the thread, never to read TBN again.
Kando, maybe you could take all this information and write a book, make the best seller list and buy a brand new tractor with the proceeds.

With good old fool proof pitcocks and no stinking drain plugs.:yes:

Hello TBN,

Trying to change the fluids in my Ford 960 and ended up rounding off the head of the transmission drain plug. Haven't tried channel locks yet but I don't think it'll help. Beyond removing the plug, what could I use to replace it? Would a short bolt work? Looked through messicks and new Holland's parts but the plug itself seems to no longer exist.

I read the original post again and not sure if anyone answered the question of where to get a replacement drain plug. The original part number is likely obsolete but I'm near certain there is a replacement number. That's for starters. There is also an active aftermarket parts business for these tractors and it's an easy bet that replacements are out here. Search for it or ask for help if needed. Finally, there are tractor boneyards all over the place and many in the upper Midwest that would have the part as used. I'll bet that plug was used in models from the 1930'sto the 1960 and beyond. Ford was like that.
