You can try heating the bolt with a torch and get it red. Let it cool and then try the easy out. Otherwise, weld a nut to the broken bolt.... or tap the bolt and thread it with the largest left hand thread possible, and then turn it out with the hardest bolt you can buy. Couple thoughts anyway.
I've also drilled them right to the threads and then break the remaining thread out with a chisel, but that' not so pretty.

Beyond that, there isn't really much of a fix unless you want to get into heavy full frames... and then you might as well buy another tractor. Those engine blocks are somewhat known to break with loaders and hoes. I'd keep that in mind when I was using the rig.
