Bite the bullet, buy the correct stud for the manifold from Deere. The threads on the block end are slightly oversize to seal in the head. Use a sealant when you put them in and your leaks will be gone. Original book called for white lead, but other sealants will work fine. While you are at it have the manifold and head re-surfaced, if you haven't already done it. The manifold/head gasket joint is a favorite place for old 2 cylinders to leak, and if everything is not perfectly flat it won't take long. My 1948 D is in the barn with a manifold gasket leak right now, and that is what I will have to do next week.
