I agree, there has been some good advice given now that the problem has manifested itself.

I suspect the head twisted off of this rather large bolt while you were using a breaker bar? For what it's worth, a pneumatic wrench is the only thing I'll put on old iron -- 450 lbs. of equally applied torque will ease those rusty critters out in most cases without breakage.

I just turned the 1/2 way point in my total restoration of my '41 H. Only problem I've faced were the underframe bolts holding the radiator on. Had to melt those guys off. I did have two drawbar frame bolts that were bent and appeared to be ready to shear, but the impact wrench eased them off too.

Good luck.
