[AT] OT drain plug size

[Cecil Bearden]

That is what I thought.  However, I had to put the plug back in to 
finish the oil change and the calipers were quite a distance away.  
Hopefully when this endless summer ever goes away I can get the 
barn/shop cleaned out and my lift installed and get some work done under 
a roof...   I am about ready to open the doors and push it all out with 
the loader or dozer...
