Men, I'm having a booger of a problem trying to remove a stuck oil petcock from the oil pan of a Farmall M. I have tried just about everything I can think of including heating it up and I still can't get it to budge. I have put so many rounds on it with a pipe wrench that it looks like it has been on a laith. LOL. Looking for any suggestions. Have questioned all of my local, "spit and weddle" club members (Farmall Experts) and even they don't know what to do. HELP!

If the pan is on the tractor and in an awkward place to work on it, remove the pan. If you
haven't played the heat card enough, try that again. Beyond that, I'd prolly saw it off so I'd have access to a hole thru. If the wall is thick I might drill or ream it some to thin it. With an appropriate file I'd file 3 or 4 slots radially out toward the threads til I got real close to the female threads in the pan. Then I'd punch or chisel it in toward the center. It will break out. Clean up with a tap. Use pipe dope on new fittings. If the fitting in the pan itself is soldered or brazed in you may have damaged that with the heat or forces applied and you''ll have to clean it up and re-solder or re- braze it.

Grind or file two flats on what's left of it. Clamp the flats in a vise and turn the pan. BTW, I hope you are heating the pan and not the petcock. If you get the area around the threads red it will come out.

I would find someone that has a used oil pan, get a new gasket and call it quits.

Hi Jim, Keep applying a lot of heat with a torch and use vise grips to try and remove the petcock. Is this oil pan off the tractor? You could saw off the fitting holding the petcock and
weld a new pipe bushing on the pan 3/8" X 1/4" and install a new petcock. Good Luck, Hal

Try welding a nut or bolt to it if you have enough surface area to get a good weld. You can then use a wrench of your choice on it. I tried this on my brother's super a oil drain plug that was boogered up and it worked well. Good Luck!

Apply dry ice while keeping the pan warm. After you have frozen the petcock way way below zero,try again.
