Rounded off drain plug

[Gale Hawkins]

Thanks for sharing. I just replaced our square head oil pan plug with the same NPT plug but with 11/16 hex head on our 1948 Model B Allis Chambers that we are rebuilding after Liquid Glass stop leak was ran in the crankcase.

It was $2.50 and in stock at NAPA.

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.

Still on the back burner to do. In lieu of draining from the plug I've figured on using a pump to pull the trans oil out and just replace from there.

Excellent idea, keep us posted.

I see where this thread is going to be made into a pilot mini-series. Its just gonna be called - Plug. That's so it can cover almost all the discussion in this thread. Ha, ha, ha

So, will this be the end of the story? That is, leave the plug in and just suction out whatever you can? Are there any further plans to remove the plug and is it now on a longer time frame bucket list?

I was kind of hoping to see this plug out of there.

I'd love to see the plug out, but it's something I probably won't be able to have done anytime soon short of sending it to a shop. I'm sure the threads would probably have to be redone too, although it may simply be a case of shear tight fit from having been overtightened.

As long as I don't have to pay that bill.

Back in the day it was only $6.
