Well gentleman (and any ladies that peruse these boards), I am back again.
Finally got the chance to do some work on my 841-S. Was gonna change the oil and drain the radiator, but ran into some problems (naturally).
The radiator plug (or drain, or whatever) will not come off the radiator (despite the application of copious amounts of WD-40--that's what you see in this picture below, not coolant).
So, the plan was to take the radiator off to work on the plug, which involved removing the sheet metal (found out I'm missing several screws and bolts in the process). Got the sheet metal off, and got down to remove the nuts from the two studs holding the radiator on.
One came off (albeit not easily), but the other just turned the bolt:
Any advice on how to get this thing off without having to grind the nut off? And, if I do (which will ruin the bolt), how do I get it back on once I've (hopefully) gotten the plug out?
In other news, I discovered this is broken (looks like a long time ago)...
I'm gonna call it part of the front axle housing. It's the "key" that holds on the front axle pivot. Does anyone know what this is called, where I can find a replacement, and how you'd go about putting it on?
Thanks a bunch, guys! I've learned a lot from this forum. I intend to use this guide:

in the near future to do a 12V conversion.
