I have come to expect nothing but trouble on even the simplest job on this Case tractor project. New water pump, even the parts man said the old one felt really tight. Two 3/8" bolts and one 3/8" nut on a stud. One hand on a 7" long box end wrench and it just doesn't feel quite right, yep the stud is pulling out.
