1655 3 point/ drawbar frame bolts

The 5/8 bolts holding the hitch frame
keep coming loose. Turns out two of them
are stripped and need to be
retapped.Should I drill and tap them to
11/16 or 3/4 ?
 
Go the thread repair route if at all possible. I had those bolts keep working louder on my 1600 until I put a dab of lock-tite on them. I've did break off when I was tightening them once, never got around to getting it out to put a new bolt in yet....

If you still have a partial thread you may be able to do what I did on my 1550 gas got a longer grd 8 bolt ran a nut up on it and then screw it into the housing as far as I easily could then ran the nut in against the bracket and welded it to the bracket and tightened the bolt as tight as I could.Its held and hasn't come loose.
