this works fairly slick:
remove the bolt protruding from the nut with the angle grinder until it has been ground flush with the nut. grind it a little bit more to clean it up and get it it hot. wrench it off. :)

beats a chisel any day.

How many of us have sliced a half moon cut in your thumb trying to hold the stupid bolt down?

We use an impact wrench and just un-screw them. We replace our shares sooner so that we don't wear down the frog and wreck the bottom. Pull the plow up on heavy duty car ramps and have at it!

In the 1990s I was plowing with a 7 bottom JD, from
sunup til sundown. I changed the shares at least
once a week, where ever the plow happened to be,
usually nothing but a socket wrench set around.
I saved all the nuts when I took the old share off,
and after putting the new share on with new nuts and bolts, I would put the old nuts on the exposed
threads and when it came time to change the next week, it was easy.

I just torch them off, from the top at that. I'm not a big believer in lying on my back under a plow cutting the nuts off. Blow the bolts right out of the shares. I don't save either one anyway.

You can not beat a torch for rusted bolts. Muffler shops have used them for years to remove studs from exhaust manifolds. Hal

If ya got a torch, that works much easier and faster yet. On plows, I will rarely try to turn them off with a wrench, unless it was just put on within the last year or maybe 2. After that, it's the torch for it.

Impact wrenches work good too.
