Super C...plugs hard to get out...

All my sparkplug sockets failed to get down into the plug wells deep enough to grip them. Finally I found a socket that had a thin enough wall to get in there. However, one of the four plugs apparently was installed without the washer, and thus was set a tad deeper into the well....and I can't get my socket to get a grip on it. Is there a specific tool that seems to solve this problem?

You must have AC plugs! I tried to install AC's in my SC and found out without a special thin wall socket, you can't tighten them so I went back to the dreaded Champions.
the hex area of the plug is lower on an AC than on Champions so the socket won't grab all the way to the bottom to tighten.
I'll get a thin wall later for next time.

Never had a problem. Use a sears 12 point deep socket. I did have a problem with a moline, turned out to be years of crud compacted around the holes, had to chisel it out with an awl.

I have never had trouble getting out the spark plugs on my A, B, Super C, or Super H. I always just use a 7/8 deep socket, 1/2 inch drive. I just took out 12 spark plugs on these tractors getting them ready for winter storage. Roger

Geees, I can't see what is so hard about getting out spark plugs. I just use thin wall deep 7/8 socket 3/8 drive. I have no problem getting it on the spark plug even with old dirt and grease on and around the plug. But I always use air hose and blow noozle to clean out around plug before I remove it as to not get any dirt into cylinder...

Last summer I was searching for a 7/8's sparkplug socket to get the plugs out of my Super C....
no body had one ! I went to my local Snap On guy
he sold me one ...I think it cost me $25 bucks for one socket !! but it works great fits right in with no problem .

The chainsaw sparkplug wrench sounds worth a try....I've always got it with me...and if not, off to the grinder.
Thanks

You need one of those light sockets like what comes with a chain saw. Either that or take the grinder to the socket that you have.

Must be a heck of a big chainsaw if you need a 7/8" sparkplug socket for it ;-)!

Dad made one just for that.Ground a taper on the outside of a regular socket till it would clear.I think it was only the first 1/2-3/4".

I use a motercycle socket on mine, think thats what it is anyways. It is just the socket on the bottom then has a hole through the center at the top that you put a screwdriver, long thin bolt, punch whatever through to use to twist it. It is very thin walled socket type thing.

Right...the chainsaw wrench would be for the smaller plugs I guess...I was thinking the same, re the cheap toolkit type with the hole for the screwdriver ()motorcycle type)...might slip in there. As mentioned above, maybe the problem is the plug type where the gripping is done just a shade lower on the plug body, making it harder to get the socket in deep enough without that washer holding it up a smidgen.
Thanks.
