Chris, Rusty Farmall has a good point in that the studs are often less than perfect once you get the manifold slid off. I would heat the nuts red hot , then douse them with cold water, the sudden temperature change will break all the rust and they should turn easily, do not use much thrust on the wrench, if they won't come easily , heat them red hot and turn them off hot. Even if the stud is corroded it will still do the job. I have seen mechanics braze the studs to reinforce them, rather than try to turn them out and risk breaking them off. Good luck with the manifold swap, your tractor will run much better as you will get better fuel/air distribution with a new manifold....Mike in Exeter Ontario
