I HAVE AN OLIVER 1750 OVER AND UNDER TRANS. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THE DRAIN PLUG ON THE FLUID PUMP HAS BEN MUTILATED BY SOME IDIOT PROBABLY WITH A PIPE WRENCH. WE HAVE ATEMPTED TO FILE THE FLATS BACK ON BUT THAT SLIPS WITH A WRENCH AND IM RUNNING OUT OF METAL, AND I'M NO LONGER SQUARE. I DONOT WISH TO USE HEAT,NOR A PIPE WRENCH OR VICE GRIP . ARE THERE ANY TOOLS OUT THERE THAT COULD BREAK THIS PLUG LOOSE, I NEED SOME IDEAS THANKS LITTLE JOHN WISCONSIN

Had similar problem w/square transmission plug.

Ultimate solution was to carefully file it to next undersize square size, then get 4-point socket that fit tightly (8pt sockets didn't work.)

(I found old 4-pt sockets at flea market. Alternatively, you can "shim" 1/4, 3/8, 1/2, and 3/4 square drive socket drive ends to get viable 4-pt socket, jury-rigging other end to socket wrench via bolt+nuts and another socket.)

I would use the pipe wrench or vise grip method, since you are going to have to replace the plug anyway. If it doesn't come out then, you could use a easy-out. If you do that, you would probably want to remove the oil pan to get all the filings out. Or if you are willing to remove the oil pan, you could do so and then use a torch on the plug. Just make sure you have a good oil plug gasket and don't overtighten it when you are all done.

OOPS! I mis-read your post. I was thinking of the ENGINE oil plug. Sorry, I'll try and be more careful next time. Disregard the oil pan removal comments.

I had a rounded off oil plug on a Case DC tractor
one time. I bought a Craftsman Stud Remover, the one that goes on your ratchet, and it worked for me.

I have had this problem before, I ended up filing it down to the size of a socket extension (3/4, 1/2 or 3/8 depending on how much metal was left). Place the female end on the plug and a good wrench on the male end of the extension and apply elbow grease. Once I get it out, replacing it is a must. This will avoid the heat from welding.

Weld a nut onto the plug let cool and unscrew it. use the largest nut that can fit on the plug. then buy a new plug.
