Galen - I have to agree with the cobalt bits, but good ones. I get mine from Snap-On, have tried a few offbrands but they didn't last long, I'm sure some of the other name-brand cobalts are just as good. I've been removing broken hard bolts in some awful places in autos for almost 40 years and the cobalts are the ticket !! They can be brittle too, like the carbide, so you have to get the speed right - not too slow and not too fast and of course as already mentioned, plenty of lube. I'm sure you'll get 'er done.

hugs, Brandi | Per sales numbers most would say they are broke a little more. The engine problem goes back to the manufacturer of the tractor for them. It's not the first time around this block! | |

I wouldn't call this an engine problem, art. It sounds like it is a people problem. Perhaps the tractor owner over tightened the bolts. If so, that could easily have caused this to occur. Perhaps the worker at the factory didn't do their job correctly.

I've always been a little to short on patience for the job of drilling out broken bolts. It always makes me cringe when I see them! | |

| Re: Broken engine mount bolts.
I am updating you on the 2810 engine mount bolts. The one on the right side drilled out fine, but I couldn't turn it out with and easyout. I drilled it out to size tapped it with the original M12-1.25, then installed a new bolt with locktite, and torqued it to the recommend 70 foot pounds.The one on the left side I never was able to drill it, but that one was broken off almost 1/2 in into the block. I drilled the block out to the broken bolt and tapped it to a M14-1.5 bolt, then installed the shorter bolt with locktite. I then made sure the rest of the motor mount and loader bolts were properly locktited and torqued. Thank you, everybody for your suggestions and help.
