The original fitting would be an older version of something like this modern draincock and probably threads into a 1/4 or 3/8 NPT tank port. Without being able to get close and personal, am thinking someone replaced the normally found fitting with a solid plug. A plug should be able to be removed providing it has not rusted or otherwise become sealed in place. Just take care to use a backup tool on the tank portion so as not to twist that part out of the tank.

The plug came out easily enough. So easily that I got a sleeve full of coolant up my coveralls. I wonder if a drain cock will fit in in place of the plug.
I got the fan blade off. Not much working room there so I am wondering how on Earth am I going to get those screws started when I go to put it back on. Also, the upper radiator hose had to come off in order to get the fan out of the engine compartment. I was able to get the lower back bolt on the generator loosened so I was able to get a little slack in the fan belt with a little bit of prying so I was able to turn the fan to get to each of the bolts holding it on. I don't see how I can possibly get anything on the front bolt to allow more slack so I can get it off the pulleys. I'll be back at it in a few days.
