<div dir="ltr">Alex, the is the large brass drain plug under the OD if you were thinking of<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">the small square one under the main tranny. It has a hex head on it. I<br>

<div dir="ltr">think it is 1 1/16 inch size. It is different than the brass drain plug on<br>

<div dir="ltr">my TR4 a type. For that one Moss has a special wrench tool which works<br>

<div dir="ltr">great. I may need to get a wrench for the 3 plug as that might work better<br>

<div dir="ltr">For the drain plug, go to a good NAPA store. I have changed some of my<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">tractors over to hex head pipe plugs since the square heads can round off so<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">easily. Of course, those machines date back to the 50's and before. They<br>
</div>
<div dir="ltr">should have them in brass, as well. They also have a good listing for<br>

<div dir="ltr">straight thread, flanged plugs, as well. Is that overdrive drain plug an<br>

<div dir="ltr">Are there any replacements for the brass overdrive drain plug on 61 3a?<br>

<div dir="ltr">Mine is worn a little making it difficult to tighten and loosen with socket.<br>

<div dir="ltr">What tricks are there to stop leaks out of this plug? <br>
