Scotty: The two holes closest the axle(one each side of axle) on all these final drives have a very thin bottom. Probably less than 1/4" thick. It is very easy to thread in too long bolt and break the bottom out of the hole. When Larry had the pans off, he could have seen this as a break in the casting. Usually they break enough so 5/8 has an 1-1/2" diameter on the inside wall. Doesn't really weaken the final drive, my 130 has been that way since 1961. You do have to keep a bolt in that hole so it won't leak either way.
I make a practice of keeping well lubricated bolts in all those holes whether I'm using them or not. It keeps the threads clean should you ever wish to use them.
