I have a servis rear scraper blade that I want to clean up and paint. The bolts that hold the cutting edge onto the molboard are very rusty and loose. I would like to remove them and replace with new bolts. Obviously I am not having much luck getting them out. Would would be the best way to cut them off? Angle Grinder? Get me a cutting torch (never used one). Cold Chisel? There are about 10 of them, so its not a huge job but I could see it getting time consuming.

Thanks,
Joel

YOU NEED A TORCH!!!!! !! If you are messing around with tractors and the like much at all, a torch is indispensable. Either cutting or heating, VERY VERY handy. Dont know what i would do without mine. Also, get a good one...Victor and oxweld were always good. Some used are cheaper to buy and better outfits to use..

Both you and RichZ need a torch! The old "blue wrench" is exactly what you need here!

Thanks everyone. I am going to try heat them up, and take a pipe wrench and see if I can twist them off. If that doesn"t work, I"ll try the cut off wheel on the angle grinder.

Have you tried heating them red hot then see if the nuts can be removed. Hal

If you have a welder you could just tack the bolt head and then spin the nut off. than pound the bolt out. that will break the weld loose.

If there's room to swing it, a three pound hammer and a GOOD cold chisel will make short work of those bolts.

I'd say now's the perfect time to buy a cutting outfit & learn to use it . Those hot wrenchs can be very helpful when it comes to being a tractor owner .There's a never ending purpose for them . God bless, Ken

Perfect excuse to buy a 4" angle grinder and some cutoff discs. Clamp vice grips on one side to keep them from spinning and slice them off.

I second the thin cut off wheels on an angle grinder.Takes no special skills like a torch does and no welding or heating involved.
