A bad thing happened yesterday. I went to drain the Transmission oil out of my MR175 and the part where the drain plug goes in SNAPPED IN HALF!!! :evil: :evil: :evil: . After cussing at it for 30 minutes i realized that it was jb welded by the previous owner. what should i do? does anyone have a engine case that i can buy. ANY help would be appreciated.

A friend did the same thing on his cr-125. I got a rubber plug from a auto parts that is used to on stripped out oil pans. His broke on a angle so I put some silicone around the plug then installed it. This happened 15yrs ago and he still rides the same bike with no leaks. Good luck. Also the name of the company that made this is "HELP", usually they have a isle at every parts place ive been in.

Not sure exactly what direction you mean by snapped, but you may be able to have it drilled out and tapped for the next size larger plug.

I mean that the drain plug hole broke and half and one half ended up in the oil, which means I need to jb weld the piece back on ormaybe weld it, by the way, has anyone tried to weld a engine case with a mig welder?
