Ford 3000 i think its a 72. I read that checking fluid
to check the two plugs on right side, the lower plug
is a flat head screw the upper a square npt fitting, i
removed the lower/ screw and something in the
trans moved, now the screw wont go back in
 

Remove the Left side step plate.
Remove the round cover.
Look in there with a flashlight and you will see the bracket that the screw goes into.
Get a friend, neighbor, pal, kid or your wife to take a screw driver and turn the screw while you reach in through the hole and hold the bracket.
Not hard to do.
I'll bet you wont do that again. :)
 
Square head pipe plug is the level check hole. The other one holds a bracket in place on the inside. As Ultradog said, not too hard to remedy if you removed the wrong one as long as you have a helper. Not many folks have arms long enough to reach through the hole on the left side and hold the bracket in place while starting the screw on the right side all by themself.
