My 47 H ran out of fuel in the pasture one day and before I could get it refueled and out of the pasture my steers had destroyed ALL the wiring. Even the battery cables were chewed up. So, I got it into the shop and I figured now is a good time to do a few of the things Ive been neglecting since I bought the tractor last year. Im going to convert it to 12v and rewire it. Yes, I know some people will scoff at the 12v conversion.
While Im waiting on those parts I thought I would change the oil and the other fluids. For the life of me I cant get the oil filter housing drain plug out. I took the housing off the engine so I can maybe put some heat to the plug. It has already been rounded off by someone else using pliers or something. When I removed it, I noticed there isnt a gasket between the housing and the engine block. I tried to find one online but I cant seem to locate one. Is there supposed to be a gasket there? I have so many oil leaks on this thing its hard to tell where theyre all coming from but there is a lot of old oil around where that housing attaches to the engine block. Secondly, any tips on how to get that dang drain plug out? Lastly, what do I replace it with once I have it out?
