This thread is a little old but I will comment anyway. I would like to give you an A for effort DW, but applying JB Weld to this problem is nothing but wasted effort. The tensile strength of JB weld is 3950psi. In general the holding strength of JB weld depends a lot on the surface area of the two parts that fit well together. In this case where you suggest applying it to hold an Allen wrench or whatever to this plug to remove it I am going to say you will be lucky to get a tenth of a square inch actually bonding. The tensile strength I would guess is quite a bit higher than it bonding strength per square inch. On weld rod the first 2 numbers in its designation is the tensile strength x1000, normally 60 or 70. So by that you can see the ...weld... in the name JB Weld is for not in this case. Granted the adherence strength of a metal weld is some lower than the 60 or 70K, but it is still way higher than the JB. Don’t get me wrong JB weld has fixed many things for me and saved me some dollars. But in this case save it for a less futile task. Hopefully by now the OP has gotten the plug out, refilled and is on to happy tractoring.

Today's Featured Article - Talk of the Town: How to Remove a Broken Bolt - by Staff. Another neat discussion from the Tractor Talk Discussion Forum. The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
