I recently did the '58 to '62 1/2 ton punkin' replacement on my '41 3/4 ton that Kip did on his '41. Worked out well and I almost drilled and tapped a 1/2 inch pipe plug in the bottom. When you use the bolt to drain you leave at least a cup of oil behind, also, that would be where any metal particles would end up and it is hard to remove that oil and clean it out well. Alas, I didn't do it cause it was cold and damp and I didn't have a plug....any way it is back together and I am going to be happy with the 3.90 gears.
