Come on Guys. these early Fords were simple so lets keep it that way.
Draining the old oil? messy problem of oil changing??
Your oil pan plug is (I assume) like my 46. Large. Just use a bucket, not a pan and block it up to within a few inches. Loosen the big drain plug so you can then reach in your rubber gloved hand and finish unscrewing it. Hold on to it until everything drains.
So why change Henry's design? Make things simple...new plug,? welding your pan?
