I am restoring this tractor. Of course I"ve run into some problems. Mostly bolts that twist off when I"m taking it apart. Disassembled the radiator a few days ago. The bottom was not much trouble. twisted off some bolts but a little heat did the trick. The top of the radiator is more challenging! Twisted off 8 bolts and the overflow tube connector nut. A little heat did nothing. Drilled some of them out ok. Broke off drill bits in two of the threaded holes and cannot get them out. The more I mess with the bits, the deeper they seem to go and the more stuck they are. Bought a carbide bit for my Dremel. Hope I can grind them out? As for the overflow tube? I heated it several different times. I finally twisted the nut off even with the cast. I tried drilling and a small chisel. I was hoping to not destroy the threads but now I just want the piece out of there. I bought a bigger bit. There is no pressure in the radiator on this model. Does anyone know if I can solder, epoxy or weld the drain tube into the cast? Anyone have any ideas? Thanks, Bob
