For the drain plug, go to a good NAPA store. I have changed some of my
tractors over to hex head pipe plugs since the square heads can round off s=
o
easily. Of course, those machines date back to the 50's and before. They
should have them in brass, as well. They also have a good listing for
straight thread, flanged plugs, as well. Is that overdrive drain plug an
oddball thread?

Sorry - can't help with question #2.
