Jim: Just curious about the terminology you and Jim N are using when you say blind holes. Are you suggesting a hole with a cast bottom is a blind hole? How about the holes on sides of torque tube on a SA, 130 and 140, most of those don't have bottoms? Are those blind holes as well? I know this as I have most corks out of torque tube.
As I told Teddy, I know these holes in question on 140 are at least 2" deep. I used a match stick to check if using 5/8"x1-1/2" bolts I had on hand would be safe to use. I didn't want to break bottom, and I didn't want to get tangled up in rear end gears if there was no bottom.
I put gasket black in there to seal around bolts and threads. I'm thinking if those holes are at least 2" deep, very likely there is not a bottom. If that be the case and if corks are as bad or worse than my 140, then a lot of water could go down those holes. There are a lot of tractors out there with corks and a lot older than my 140. All I want to know, does the hole have a bottom?
