[QUOTE="Steersman, post: 355448, member: 239"][FONT=Verdana][SIZE=5] Machines with gear cases, like tractors and such, often have flush 'pipe' plugs in threaded holes to check or drain lubricants. These plugs come in various sizes, and require a correctly sized wrench to turn them. (Some, but not all, came in standard 3/8, 1/2 or 3/4-inch sizes so you could just use a ratchet extension to turn them.) There are 'fit-all' wrenches with the various sizes. Some of your lugs show torque damage. Are the lugs different sizes? [/SIZE][/FONT][/QUOTE]
