Rounded off drain plug

Maybe it does not need to

Maybe Wonder Woman could grab it tight enough with her fingers that, with a simple twisting action, would get it started.

Next time it happens pull the fill plug and tip the tractor over!

Since we are already talking about next time, Kando will be happy to know he is voted in for a second term :thumbsup:

C'mon Mate. If this entire thread has proven anything it's that the pipe wrench is a 'tool of the past', forever to be relegated to a museum display in a curiosity shop and/or gathering an inch of dust hanging, forgotten, on a peg-board in your workshop.

Were it not for this discussion I would not be the proud owner of a (far superior) "Knipex"! [Which I haven't had to use yet... but I have one!!!]

Brilliant ! :thumbsup: :laughing: Plus to get it to the land of OZ you probably paid a little more ? I just hope you bought the Knipex model made for "south of the equator" !

I don't know if they make hand tools for "south of the equator" but to get them right we would just use them upside down. I know they put the steering wheels on cars on the right hand side for us, and they must do the same with motorbikes. Ive never seen a lefthand drive motorbike here.

:laughing: How about a motorbike with a sidecar mounted on the left side ?

 

[Jim Shooz]

Yes but......If the sidecar was mounted on the lefthand side, the vehicle would still be controlled by the person on the right. So would still be righthand drive. Besides sidecars around here are as rare and the proverbial rocking horse cr*p.

I was wondering if Kando had the same gorilla tighten the new plug that tightened the old plug :confused3:.

If so, we can start over with how to get the second plug out :drink:

Nah, made sure to go with finger tight, then a quarter turn by wrench.:thumbsup:

I had a friend who said:

• What ever it is, run it wide open until it breaks
• I tighten bolts down until they strip, then I back off a quarter turn

My philosophy: Get as tight as you can, then go another round
Then if it doesn't go, get a bigger hammer
