honda foreman oil drain plug..
if you are unsure what it is, you need to have a shop do it. Basically it is where you drill out the hole and re-thread it with a tap. Then you thread the "heli-coil" into the hole. It is kind of like a threaded bushing. The threads in the hole will now be the same size as it used to. In such a critical part as this and the large cost to replace it should something go wrong, i recommend having a professional do it.

Yes, Ranchers and some other Hondas have a casting just above the drain plug inside the cases. Inspecting through the drain hole is a must before drilling or tapping. On these units, I will normally drill the drain plug and resize the factory 12mm drain plug to accept a 14mm drain plug. Another note is I use a bottoming tap when resizing drain plugs so to not damage internal parts or case flange castings inside the drain hole. I used to use TimeSerts but have steered away and have been making the hole size for a bigger drain plug. When doing this, the area around where the sealing washer sets may need to be increased around its girth with a dremmel.
Remember, drain plugs should only be tightened to 18 foot lbs to keep from further stripping
