Hey guys, I have been working on an old Dodge Flathead 6 that I acquired. It has been sitting maybe 20 years. I did the usual things and got it running , but rough,had a stuck exhaust valve on #2. And I do mean stuck !! Tried everything to soak, heat , wiggle , tap, wouldn't budge. I had to pull the head, even then it was a struggle to get the valve moving freely. Anyway, in spite of all my precautions, I still had 2 head bolts snap off. At first , I thought I was lucky that there was a 1/2 inch of broken bolt above the block surface. I cleaned, heated, soaked, and welded nuts on , but the studs merely snapped off below the welds. I welded on more nuts, same thing. I think the metal is just to degraded to hold. Now I am left to drilling them out. My idea is to buy one of those small drill stands that hold a hand drill and modify it so I can fasten it down to the block deck with bolts and then progressively drill holes in the old studs til I can pick or tap the remains out. They are SO rusted in I don't think any extractor is gonna work. I have never had the weld a nut on trick fail me before. Good plan ? Am I missing something ? Thanks !

Today's Featured Article - Madison's County - by Anthony West. Philip Madison has been a good friend of mine for quite some time. He has patiently suffered my incessant chit chat on the subject of tractors for longer than I care to remember, and on many occasions he has put himself out, dropped what ever it was he was doing, to come and lend a hand cranking handles, or loading a find onto a trailer. Although he himself has never actually owned or restored a tractor, he was always enthusiastic and always around helping with other peoples projects.
