Studebaker JL

Thanks Nathan. From what you and others have advised I think removing the engine will be the way to go. In the meantime I've bought a pump used in the marine industry and sucked most but not all the oil out. I plan on working on the car this winter when the roads are being salted. Jim

Nate the tires are Trans Rib 6.50-16.

Hello Nate. They were on the car when I bought it. I'm heading out to the shop today and will take a look at them and pass it on. Jim

Thanks Gary! I will order one.

I just bought a 1941 Commander and noticed the previous owner had used JB weld on and around the drain plug. It was slipping and leaking. Currently it actually leaks very little but wanted to correct this. So have a couple of questions. First, can the oil pan be removed while the engine is still in the car or by tilting the engine up a few inches to clear the pan? Second, are there any used pans around? And will oil pans from different engines and year models fit. If I can't find a good used pan I'm willing to try welding the damaged unit. Thanks J.L.
