My home was build in 1956 I did this about 3 years ago. I did have to redress the threads because the were in bad shape. I know a lot of the older folks in the neighborhood just did away with the stand pipe alltogether and ran the washer drain hose direct with a extension and put a ped on wall to hang the drain hose above the water line. Some who couldnt break loose the stand pipe just chiseled a hole in the floor drain next to the pipe. I didnt like that idea but worked for them.
