My 1420 combine has developed a leak in the oil pan. It's around the welded "bung" where the drain plug screws into. The leak is in the weld bead on the oil pan. I think the threaded part is ok. It looks like this threaded "bung" has been welded before.
Was wondering about any ideas on how to fix this. Would packing epoxy putty around it fix it? Of course, I'd have to make sure that all oil and grease was cleaned away. Spraying it good with break cleaner, and brushing it with a wire brush.
Replacing this oil pan would require removing the engine. Hoping someone out there has some advice on this. Thanks!
