314h '96 Eaton 1100 - drain plug size?

[Aldon 4,827]

Well it's as title indicates. 

 

I acquired this one a while while back and got it all spiffied up and oil changed and when I got to hydro I can get the dang plug out. So I'm dragging it to Stevebo's and hopefully with a ton of foremen we will get it out and fluid changed.

 

but I know the plug will need replaced.

 

Can anyone tell me what npt size this plug is?

 

So I can grab one to install when and if we are successful.

I am a firm believer in magnetic drain plugs for engines and gear sumps. I have these on my tractors, #IP-02. These are a direct replacement for the OEM plug.

Make my own. Drill a hole and drop the magnet in. Can't get it back out if I wanted to.

I've had a couple Horses that I couldn't get that damn allen plug out.The inside hex rounds out real easy.I've had to drill them out.When I replace them,I use a standard 1/4 inch pipe plug.Has an external square head. Also use Teflon tape on the threads.The tape not only seals the threads,it makes the plug  easier to remove next time.Good luck with yours.

Standard pipe plug will be the easiest to remove.

 

Square head is OK.

 

Hex head is best.

 

However, If you use the rear attachamatic for a front or mid blade for example, it will hit the plug if it is not flush like the original.

Call me cheap but I'm with Garry on making my own. Got a pile of magnets off ebay cheap... They are square head tho. I JB welded them in but doubt if I had to. From my 5060 woes  thread...
