Just bought a used 285 bushhog and need to know size of Allen wrench to get gearbox check plug out? Looks like 8 mm and cant locate my 8 mm. Any help please
 

More likely a 5/16 hex wrench than 8mm if it's a Comer gearbox with a 3/8 NPT plug. By the parts book the OMNI gearbox used a 1/8 NPT plug and a hex wrench for that should be 3/16".
 
If you can't get it out.....I bought a new shredder a couple of years ago and the 1/8 pipe plug full test port was frozen...rusted...must have been sitting out in some mfgrs. yard in the weather for some time. I didn't feel like driving the 100 miles round trip to take it back.

So I just pull the fill plug and took a piece of wire and dipped down in the hole, pulled it out, compared it to the height of the plug and adjusted accordingly.
