Rounded off drain plug

Stanley classic 99 razor knife, no need to remove the core

That's one option,but then we must discuss face/eye protection:footballhelmet: in case stem take's flight.

Let's not get the cart before the hors,,,,,,,,,tire before the tractor.:no: We should discuss methods and tools for removing valve core,then we can talk about the tire. Re-inflation should be in a seperate thread.

Drive your tractor through stump and limb infested woods in the most inaccessible part of your property. That should take out a valve stem and maybe a hydraulic line.

Just be informed that people sometimes lose drain plugs driving through those kind of places.

So has this ever been brought up? The use of an induction heater?

There are numerous others as well but based on memory of early post describing the location, this one looks like a good fit.

They could also take out an eye if they are not wearing eye/face protection .

Should we discuss different ways to get those tires off of the rim?

Sawzall all the way (unless you want to reuse the tire).

Interesting tool, if not just a LITTLE pricey

I think heat was ruled out when it was suggested welding a 36"pipe wrench to the plug. The idea was heat from welding would alow plug to be screwed out with needle-nose pliers.

I have some real wide turf tires I am getting rid of. One of the beads busted and the sidewall split on one tire. If I sawzall the sidewalls off will the tread flatten out to be usable for a shop mat or will it curl?

I dunno, but if you wrap some of it round the plug before putting the stiltson on, it will afford more grip and help soak up some of that grease that is causing everything to slip
