I don't believe you have an issue with the cast fitting but with the hose on each end. The hose between the fitting and the radiator might break the lower soldered piece off the radiator if too much force is applied and the hose didn't give first. Removing the radiator might be in your best interest as the hoses are probably ready for replacement along with the thermostat while you have everything opened up and easy to work with. I also replaced the water pump with a new CaseIH one after seeing the China made replacement which are very crudely cast. The CaseIH one was significantly better although twice the cost but of a much better quality and most likely made in this country or at least where some quality was required to meet their standards. With the extended drain pipe I put in my 240 I now have room below the front bolster to grip the pipe with vice grips and turn off the cap on the bottom. Just extend that pipe enough to clear the bolster to grip it above the cap and not to far so that tire debris would hit it in use. Good luck and post back on what you eventually do to resolve your drain issue, Hal.

"Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
