It is Whitworth.... the closest match was a 15/16 wrench..which
promptly started to round the head of the plug off. A good crescent
didnt work, a 23 mm didn work....Knippex 'channel locks" didnt work...so

interesting to get out.


There are 'channel pliers' made for hex nuts, even better are locking
pliers made for hex nuts. Try a farm store.
