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?

He'll be busy working and I’m handing him tools and he says, "give me that..." and I’ve already got it in his hand or "hand me that....."and I’ve got the portable light right where he needed it placed to see. "Run in the house and get me a...."as I open th
