I'm working on a White 4-150 with hydraulics that seem to _barely_ work when the engine is running. The pump is fine--it is even getting hot from trying to pump the oil.

Well, long story short... Local mechanic says I need to pull out one of those plugs. But I need some really big 14mm-or-so 6-sided allen wrench to remove it. Can't seem to find anything close up here.

I've tried to find a matching bolt that fits, but I can't seem to get a good enough pair of pliers on it to get the plug to turn. (The handle on a big cold chisel is close, but those are 8-sided, not 6.)

Weld a handle on the bolt.

Take a 9/16" Allen wrench and carefully file a few strokes off of each flat about 3/8" long on the end. You'll only need to remove about .005-.006 from each flat. Pick up a replacement at the flea market. No 9/16 Allen? Use a long bolt with a head of the right size, heat and bend at a right angle about an inch out. No bolt? Use a short 9/16 hex shaft filed to fit and a 9/16 box wrench. NO PLIERS!

You could try a short 3/8" bolt... double nut and tighten the nuts to each other. It might fit into the hole. 9/16" is 11 thousands larger than 14mm. You can then use a 9/16" socket or wrench if there's enough slop in the hole.

Or find a metric bolt and nuts that fit a 14mm wrench and try this if the 9/16" bolt head is too big.

Thanks!

Caliper reading is .550 inch across the plug. Took your suggestions, with a small change. 3/8 bolt, double nutted, shaved about .010 inch off each flat, tapped in gently with a hammer. The plug came out much easier than I expected!

Glad I had a couple buckets handy, I would've lost all 7 gallons of oil!
