I decided to put a block heater in my 7030 in case it is needed this winter. It has had a combine engine put in it so it doesn't have one now. I don't know a lot of history on the tractor so I plan to change out the coolant at the same time. The question I thought of is what are the chances of the plug coming out clean after 50 years? And then is there a good way to repair the threads in the aluminum casting? Thanks in advance.

| If it was mine, I'd have the engine fully warmed up to operating temp and carefully use a 1/2" impact wrench to get it to move and know it is loose. Have your hand on the socket to control what's happening to keep it from completely coming unthreaded !!! |
