Weld on a bung and use a 1/4 or 3/8 NPT pipe plug.

Gear lube is over rated.....a plug hole will just put a weak point in the cover. Just cover it up and call it good.


Yea definately NPT plug

Do you have an air compressor? Look on the tank where the plumbing fittings are screwed in... notice the thicker ring welded to the thin material of the tank to provide adequate thread engagement... that, my friend, is a bung.

Dunno. The pipe plug definitely, but you may need a plumbing specialty place for the bung. You could make one easily enough with the right tap and a short piece of steel barstock.
