Does anyone have any tips or tricks to remove a steel square drive 3/8" pipe plug out of a Aluminum Oil pan? I am working on one of my tractors and I was going to drain the engine oil and I could not get the plug out. I have not serviced this tractor before and I do not even know if the pipe plug is the correct drain plug for it, I don't think it is. I started with box wrench, then a adjustable wrench, then tried 2 different square drive sockets because the plug started to get distorted and round off each time. I then tried to heat it but the aluminum removes the heat to fast. I even tried twist sockets that are supposed to remove rounded off bolts with my 3/8 impact. No movement at all just kept rounding off the flats on the plug. I can get a some what of a decent bite on it with a pipe wrench but I do not want to break the pan. I was thinking of maybe trying to weld a large nut over the plug and maybe the heat from welding it will help brake loose the rust around the threads. I have a lot of room around the plug and I think I could get it clean enough on all sides to get good penetration on the steel plug if I weld it. I guess I am worried about pulling out the threads on the aluminum. Any ideas??? Thanks in advance...

Today's Featured Article - Grain Threshing in the Early 40's - by Jerry D. Coleman. How many of you can sit there and say that you have plowed with a mule? Well I would say not many, but maybe a few. This story is about the day my Grandfather Brown (true name) decided along with my parents to purchase a new Ford tractor. It wasn't really new except to us. The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
