Gentlemen,
I was in the process of replacing both frames on my 41' H om Wednesday morning. Both original frames are cracked and have been welded. The front of the tractor is supported under the engine with blocks and a floor jack. I applied some heat and penetrating oil before I started per suggestions from some IH mechanic friends. When I went to slowly remove one of the attachment bolts on the right side (bolster end), it simply snapped off flush with the bolster surface. Cautiously, I proceeded to the next bolt with the same result. Now I really feel snake bit. How will drilling out the broken/rusted bolt(s) along with easy- out work? I haven't any experience in this department? Any suggestions, instructions or prayers are greatly appreciated. Thanks...
