Not  really tractor related, but on my western plow, the oil is stored in 
an  aluminum housing that the pump attaches to.  In the bottom of the housing 
 is a drain plug that consists of an indented hex head plug.  The plug is  
made of steel, and after many years of sitting there, it is fused in place 
(I  bought the plow used).  The inside of the hex head is stripped out, I'm  
clearly not the first person to try and get it out.  I would like to  remove 
it so I can drain the oil and get out any water that's in it.  The  plow 
has a tendency to freeze up when it gets really cold and I have to heat  the 
housing up with a torch to make it work.  Any ideas?  It's hard  to get at 
and is sticking down about a fraction of an inch from the housing so  I can't 
get pliers or anything else attached to it.  I'm afraid if I were  to just 
drill it out I would never get another one in there. 

You help  is welcome as always.

Enjoy, Joe
