[QUOTE="cchardwick, post: 5766, member: 758"] I got them out! I was about to grind down my 9 mm when I decided to check to see if it would fit theother plugs. Three out of four plugs were stock (two gas plugs and one hydraulic plug) but one hydraulic plug was a 9 mm! So I didn't want to grind down my one and only 9 mm since it fit one side. I finally realized that the plug I couldn't get was sticking out a bit under the skid steer so I tried a pipe wrench and it worked! I went to the local auto parts store and was able to get two new plugs for less than two bucks each, both with magnets and square holes that accept a 3/8 inch breaker bar NICE! I did find that on both plugs I had a TON of metal stuff stuck to the magnets. The one that was stock (not the 9 mm replacement) had what looked like a big metal washer that had broken into large pieces, some pieces almost as long as the plug itself. Wonder what that was from? Maybe a previous repair? All that metal really gets me nervous..... Even though it's over 30 years old, the machine only has 1200 hours on it. [/QUOTE]
