finally got what was formerly my dad's H back to it's rightful home today. i don't think this tractor has ever been shedded in it's life. also has not been run for a few ?? years. it is not seized. however i cannot get the drain plug to budge. should i use heat?? should i remove the oil pan and then deal with it?? i removed the oil filter cannister and the oil there looked not that bad. btw the tractor has excellent tires, workable tin, has potential for restoration. for sentimental reasons i want to do this one right. my pockets are deeper than usual on this one.

Did you ever remove the pan plug on your tractor?
Counter-clockwise was the right direction for removing the plug. Hal

Big pipe wrench and a new oil plug.

Are you sure you're turning the drain plug in the right direction? You need to turn that plug counter-clockwise and I would use a wrench or socket so you don't round off the plug. I would apply some heat, but with oil in the pan it may not get hot enough. It would be hard to hold the pan once it has been removed from the block.

If a socket will fit the plug, I would use a six point socket and use a long breakdown bar. 3/4
drive if you have one. Even a 3/4 air impact may loosen it. Hal

EL-TORO, counter-clockwise will tighten the plug, you turn the plug clock-wise to remove it. Righty tighty, lefty loosey.

I guess I'll have say you are right if removing the plug from beneath the tractor. You would pull
the wrench or ratchet toward you too loosen. Hal

Left is to loosen and that's ccw. I would still use my right hand too. Hal

You're wrong, which way do you tighten a bolt, CW
unless you're using left-handed bolts. Hal

the one thing i am doing is turning the proper direction!! do intend to try an impact wrench, however a socket only fits so well on a square head.

Laying on a creeper looking directly up at the plug, it is CCW. Almost all tool stores and Autoparts stores will have a square socket selection from which to choose.
Lots of luck, and good job getting the unit "home"

I have found while working on my F-20 that a 12 point socket that is one or two sizes bigger that the nut size will fit pretty well, but if the nut is rusty it will round it quite easily.
