A Heli-Coil installation kit will give you the correct drill size, tap, inserts, and installation tool. Cast iron is not hard to tap unless the hole is undersized. High quality tapping fluids like Tap-Ease make the job easy. Incidentally, I have heard that lard is still the best tapping lubricant for cast iron but have never used it.

A friend of mine ripped out the three bolts underneath the rear frame that secure the U-shaped bracket for the fast hitch bail on a 460. He did not want to go to the expense of Heli-Coils so we drilled to the next tap size. I think it was 3/4". We did all the work on our backs drilling and tapping upwards. The tractor has been fine ever since.
