[Farmall] Broken bolt/easy out

[John Hall]

Thought of another idea should a similar situtation arise. If possible, 
renting  a mag base drill would give you more flexibility and more rigidty 
that a hand drill. Of course in your case mounting it sideways on a casting 
would have been an adventure in itself!

Glad everything worked out!
