[Farmall] Transmission Oil Change - Wrench Question

[Mike Schmudlach]

Not to screw up people's ingenuity but a set of square drives that fit on
your socket ratchet are pretty cheap.
I know harbor Freight stuff is basically junk but this is the kind of stuff
that is worth buying.
Once you own a set they will come in handy over and over.  You can also buy
a set of socket adapters...  3/8 to 1/2 and 1/2 to 3/4 for about $5
At HF.  These also work well and you can use them when you can not find the
right socket ot go with the only socket driver that you can find on the mess
on the shop floor.

Any money you spend on tools is money well spent for "he who dies with the
most tools wins" unless you neighbor borrowed all of them.

Tim,

I know you've gotten a lot of responses to your problem, but I have one more
that you may want to consider, if you haven't already got the job done. 

Why not go to the local hardware store and buy another plug that is male
(has the square "peg" instead of the square "hole"). Put the "peg" end into
the oil plug and use a pipe wrench to turn it like an adapter. 

I would imagine that a plug would cost less than an adapter, and you won't
have to spend time and money making a tool. Wish I had thought of this
earlier when you first asked.
