Right wrench?

One bolt on a MF 65 cannot be removed to separate the front to put on a crankcase pulley. Closed end wrenches or socket will not fit. One side of the bolt is almost touching the motor. An open end barely fits but slips, avoiding a good "bite". I hate to use a chiesel and hammer. Any ideas?

Gordon.... If you haven't got that bolt out yet: the bolt went in at the factory; try to imagine what kind of tool was used. They didn' give the assembler very much time to do it ,either.
You might find that a high quality box wrench will have a slimmer head than the run of the mill wrench. Also the mentioned line (tubing) wrench might work. Or you can make one by cutting out one segment of your 'spare' box wrench . Have you tried some super penetrant on the bolt? Try that, let it sit for a while, then put the wrench on it and at the same time,tap the head with a hammer(like driving a nail), while trying to turn it. Some times tightening first will help.
As a last resort, , lightly weld a bar on the head on one of the flats, turn as far as you can to get it started. Then grind the weld off and hope it's loose eough to turn with a wrench. Good luck. John

How about a line wrench? It surrounds more of the nut and,if it fits,won't slip.

I'm not familiar with this one, but is there a way you can grind a socket or box end wrench to fit?
