These are pictures taken from my Refurbish thread. The bolts are carriage bolts. The slots are on the radiator. Wedge something between the radiator front end mount to jam the bolt so it stays in the slot. Take only the left one off (standing in front of tractor). I have another picture from that thread that shows why you only need to remove one.

Thanks Kid, I'll give it a try. This Tractor is gonna fight me to the end I can see it now. The fender bolts are still stuck so I moved to the front.

Take your axle off the blocks to get them out of the way. Those fender bolts will need to be replaced, to get you a 6 to 8# sledge and bang the h€ll out of em. They are froze just like mine where. I actually thought one of mine was welded in, but it finally came out but not without serious persuading.

What does this mean?

Evening Murph. First off let me wish you good luck and hope you enjoy your time with your 135. Hopefully you're not in a hurry so you can take your time with it.

For your fender bolts, I don't know if you have a compressor or not but when I don't want to use heat I have a pneumatic chisel that I've made an extension for that allows me to impact seized bolts. I've had pretty good luck after soaking them with an anti-seize for a day or two. I've had my fenders off a few times, there is room for the tool.

If not I'd continue on the way you're approaching it, keep them soaking in anti-seize and give them a wack every now and then, perseverence is key, "we shall persevere for we are strong and they are weak"................

Thanks Mike, No I'm not in any hurry and I don't have power to the Tractor House yet so I'll give it a wack every time I go in there. So I work on the front

Try putting a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF on the nut.
