Bill, since you have not dismantled the tractor engine possibly you can salvage what you have. Get a tap the correct size of the stripped bolt and carefully clean out the bad hole tapping it as deep as the tap will go. Use grease on the tap and the thread chips should stick between the flutes. Clean the hole with a magnet. Get a piece of threaded rod an screw it into the hole using two nuts jamed together to drive the rod. Observe how much deeper the rod threads into the hole as compared to the old bolt. It is essential for the rod to thread at least the diameter of the old bolt further in than the original bolt. Assuming this happens, now remove the threaded rod and clean the hole using solvent and air. Get a pack of JB Weld or Marine Tex(boat shop item) and follow instructions and apply liberally to the threaded rod starting about 3 full threads up from the end that goes in the block. Install the threaded rod until moderately tight and stop. Unjam the two nuts and torque the one next to the head. Cutoff the protruding unused portion of the threaded rod. After the cure time on the sealant is complete add a bottle of Barrs leak to the radiator and start the engine and let it run at least 15 minutes after the thermostat opens and check for water. I believe everything will be o k. If you ever need to remove the stud all that is necessary is to heat the threaded rod to 350+ degrees and the heat will destroy the epoxy.
