I just finished working on Ellie's head (she is my 48 cub), and I had the very same worries when I first started on her. Soak the head bolts with a good penetrating oil such as PB Blaster, Kroil or Solvo-Rust... then with a 9/16" socket on a 1/2 breaker bar, very carefully turn counter-clockwise. If you go slow you will feel it move. If it doesn't right away, give it a rap with a deadblow hammer and try again. Do each one in sequence. (check the GSS-1411 Service Manual). Continue. They will come out.
However, do yourself a HUGE favour and do not reuse those headbolts. Put em in a can marked old IH Head Bolts and keep em as souvenirs. Get some good Grade 8 head bolts. They are available at a GOOD fastener jobber. I use Maritime Fasteners locally here and they matched up the head bolts perfectly. You can go to Fastenal, but you may have to either shorten the shorter bolts a bit or let em into the water jacket... Use C5A or other Anti-Seize on the new head bolts.
