I have 2 broken bolts on my H that I need to get out. One of them is on the right side rail that bolts the side rail to the front of the tractor. It has 2 bolts going vertically and the bottom one is broken off. It looks as if the only choice I have is to take an ez-out in there and get it out? Anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!!!

RC

On old welder showed me how to take out broken off bolts. First you drill a hole in the middle of the broken off bolt. Then you weld the hole shut and weld a nut onto the top. And let it cool off . Now unscrew the bolt. He told me the welding shrinks the bolt and also breaks the rust lose. Since I started taking out bolts this way I have had one that I couldn't get out.

I agree with George on easy-outs.

Take the side rail off so you can get to the bolt then weld a nut onto it. The welding heat does wonders to break the rust. You (or any decent welder) can weld a nut onto a bolt that is flush or a little below the surface it is stuck in. Since it is in cast material you will not have to worry about weld metal sticking to the housing.

RC,
Try any method you can think of...drilling, chiseling, welding, blow it out with a torch, etc...but do yourself a favor and DON'T use the easy-out!!! You will learn all about misery it you break the easy-out off in the bolt. Those !@#$% things can give you real grief, and only can remove a bolt that isn't stuck. In other words, almost never.

in regard to easyouts the ones which are tapered I have found out will suck in and spread just like a tapered pipe thread WE mostly used the ones like an allen wrench only with a bigger head so could use socket Much better tool

Bob,
Maybe I live too sheltered a life. Have you discovered a new kind of easy-out that can grip without expanding the remaining part of the bolt? Expanding is exactly what you DON'T want to do. In most cases, the bolt is broken because it is stuck TIGHT in the hole. Why on earth would you use something that will expand the bolt and make it even tighter? Throw those !@#$% easy-outs in the junk where they belong! I can't think of a way that is not better for removing bolts.

i agree, save the easyouts, knock-it outs, sock-it outs and the other stuff that wedges itself in for noncritical things. that way when they do break you can throw your part with the remover away. and not have to say any !@#$% type words. when they work its great, when they don't, you got big trouble.
