Handle guide bolts loose on my auger. Half a turn and one sheared off clean with the surface of the housing. Remember reading about a way to spot weld to the top of the stud, but can"t remember the details. Or should I just break out the drill and the (not so) easy outs? Suggestions. Housing is cast. Thanks Heyseed

The heat involved in the welding help you a bunch. It is a test, I have done it many times when we were farming, but havent't had to do it for 10 years or so and in the meantime my eyesight has sure gone down hill. It would be a challenge for me now, but it does work, even if the bolt is broken flush.

It may would help to have someone hold the nut for you and get the rod right down in the center of the nut and try to get a good arc and good penetration at the very first, then like Jim says fill the nut up with weld, then let it cool some. Use a box end wrench so you can see what is happening, the work it back and forth real easy.

If you can see it move a little then hit it with some liquid wrench.

good luck, Gene

Weld a flat washer on the broken stud 1st.Peen the weld with a hammer. Then weld any size nut that you want. They usually screw right out.

Put a same size nut over the broken end. Weld through the nut onto the break. Pretty much fil the nut. Let it cool and go after it with a wrench. remember it is way easier to turn a blot loose when it has some sort of nut on it, so be gentle, and use some penetrating juice. JimN

Thanks Jim, It will be a test of my welding skill to not weld the bolt in place.
