Well, after three or more years, I finally finished the Regular. This is the second and last of my Grandfather's Farmalls I have. There is one more that a neighbor has that I hope to acquire through begging/pleading/threats/coercion. As with most items left out in the South Texas gulf area, the rust was pretty bad. One of the iron gussets that bolt to the tranny top had a hold rusted through it. In all, I had to replace all the sheet metal, the radiator, cylinder block, sleeves, two pistons, and all rims.

The discussion started out with the following post: "I have an aluminum steering gear housing with a bolt broken off in it. The bolt is about a 3/8" x 1 1/2" bolt. I've already drilled the center of the bolt out with about 7/64" drill bit the entire length of the bolt. Only one end of the bolt is visible. I tried to use an easy out but it wasn't budging and I didn't want t
