The threads in the head may have been terribly rusted, and a PO could have screwed a bushing coated with epoxy or other sealant into the old 3/4" threads, forming a seal, where the drain plug had been leaking.

If this is what has been done, and you drill the bushing out, you will expose the rusted-out 3/4 pipe threads.

I am almost certain Phillips-Temro makes a heater similar to the one you have that has 1/2 pipe threads.

If you would like, I can research this, and get you a part number. If, in fact they make a 1/2" pipe thread version, it shouldn't be too tough to get ahold of one, saving messing with the head.
