    Default willy : plug missing ?

    plug missing ?
    Post by willy on Jun 20, 2006, 8:50pm

    after a routine inspection of the under belly of my "new" M715 I noticed that there was a plug missing from the clutch housing (?), Q1) should there be a plug in there, there is a threadded hole 2) should there be any fluid in the housing unit, it is dry since the plug was missing

    I think that plug is there for when you would deep water ford to keep water out of the clutch assembly. It also acts as a drain when you go through deep puddles or small streams etc.

    I may be wrong and I'm sure someone will post to either confirm or tell me how off I am...

    Nahh, you have it right, Joe. The plug is normally kept in the glovebox until it is needed for fording. I doubt that very many of us still have the plug though, lol.

    The plug is just a standard pipe plug. Nothing special. And yeah, the hole is only to be plugged when fording.

    I'm glad you asked that Willy. I meant to look under some trucks in Tennessee and forgot all about it. Mine is gone too.
