Forest, I had the same problem you had trying to get the front drain plug loose. It was already rounded so I took a pipe wrench to it and still couldn't move it, so took it to my diesel expert and they had the same problem. It could not be moved even with brute force. So we took the plug out of the front of the pan. It came out easy. The Funoto valve that I had bought did not fit the front plug, so we put the plug that we took out back in. But the beauty of the whole thing is they only charge me $60.00 after 2 hours of work and will depose of the old oil and filters. I furnished the oil and filters and was there the whole time and they filled the filters with oil before installing them and I am happy. I was clean and the two of them will need a really hot bath tonight. Mine took 9 gallons and I will check it tomorrow when cold. They also found a leak in the hydraulic line and fixed that.
