I bought a Super M with a two row mounted picker. The mounting bolts had been allowed to loosen up,while the picker was in use. There were 4 sheared off bolts in the front bolster. I drilled a 1/4" hole through the center of each, then CAREFULLY used the torch to burn/blow out the remainder of ther bolts from the casting. Then I ran a tap through the holes to clean them up. Worked great. The bolts melted before the cast. Just take it easy though, don't get the cast too hot. I also used this technique to remove broken fender mount bolts in the blind holes in the rear axle housings. The slag spits back at you, and snuffs out the torch, but you'll get it eventually.
