[AJD] a 110

Tue May 16 19:26:45 PDT 2006

I was working on one of my smaller John Deeres on Sunday, a 1967 110 that a dear friend gave to me, along with mower, snow blade, wheel weights and chains, and I was unhappy with the starter/generator belt tension.  Grabbed my wrenches and started working on it.  What I discovered is that the bolts that hold each end of the generator to the mounting bracket are sheared off.  Got to drill them out and the easiest method appears to be to remove the mounting bracket from the block.  This is a Kohler 8 hp and the parts book shows the 2 bolts that hold the bracket to the block.  

Before attacking these 2 bolts, has anyone had to remove this bracket and do you think that these bolts will back out without much trouble.  The last thing I want to do is shear these off.
