I definitely have a lot of things to try. Thanks for all the ideas. It always helps to have more people thinking on something. I would have not thought of a lot of them. I will start seeing what I can put together and try. Thanks again to everyone.

Thanks for the replies, So it sounds like heating it and hammer and block is the preferred choice. I do like the idea of hooking it to a Reese hitch ( Which I have on a 4runner) to get the leverage to try and bend. I was struggling to figure out what to hook it too besides the tractor. I talked...

Thanks to help on this forum I was able to get 4 broken bolts fixed that snapped off the side of my tractor that held this frame to the tractor. The frame holds one side of the Front End loader attachment. When the bolts snapped it also bent the frame which It is 3/8 steel. From the pictures you...

I have a Lincoln 135 115 Volt MIG. I got my Dad's torch last night and I'll go tonight and get some washers and more nuts and give it another shot. I've been trying the various things, with washers I can linger a bit longer on the bolt face and with the torch I can try and really heat up the...

I need more welding practice, I am not getting a hot enough weld. It just twists off the face of the bolt, I'll keep at it tonight :)

I have to also say what a fantastic group, I never expected so much help and ideas. Hopefully something I know will be relevant and I can give to back to someone's questions on the forums.

Thanks everyone for the posts, and especially ole Slewfoot for the fantastic details and pictures. I do have a MIG welder and I do have fluxcore I am definitely going to try the weld\nut method on the three that I have not drilled out. Now I wish I had asked the question before drilling :) If I...

Here is a picture of what I have, The bottom left shows a broken extractor that I have to remove ( First try) the bottom right show one I drilled out to try that method after the extractor method did not look so good. I did try heating them and PB Blaster for a day or so but I think I need to...

Hi Sberry It is a 1985 Massey Ferguson MF-1030. They did gave a lot of support around the 4 bolt mounts. I cannot get behind it as they go into the side of the engine\transmission assembly. If I went to a 1/2 " you think there would be enough difference between the 12 MM and the 1/2 to get hole...

Thanks both or you for your replies, I just took a look at a YouTube video on Keensert and how to install them. That does look like the way to go. That way I can drill and not worrying about preserving the threads. It looks like they have a few install tools for setting the locking pins etc. I...

I am kind of stuck on which way to go, I have four 12 MM bolts sheared off in the side of a tractor where a Front end loader mounted. I have tried using an extractor but they will not budge. So I tried drilling just one out all the way through using a slightly smaller bit than the bolt itself...
