Plug size in oil filter housing?

I have an 8N tractor that is leaking oil out of the drain hole on the oil filter housing because there is some random mismatched bolt stuck in it. I'm guessing at some point, the plug was lost and they just stuck a bolt they had handy into the hole. Can anyone tell me what size plug would fit?
 
It's 1/8 NPT. If they put a bolt in it, chances are the threads are shot. You'll probably need to re-tap it.

Brass ones are easy to find in the plumbing dept of the big box stores.

Thanks, you're probably right. I'm used to it though; everything on this tractor is rusted, stripped, seized, or broke.
