I have come to expect nothing but trouble on even the simplest job on this Case tractor project. New water pump, even the parts man said the old one felt really tight. Two 3/8" bolts and one 3/8" nut on a stud. One hand on a 7" long box end wrench and it just doesn't feel quite right, yep the stud is pulling out. Made me think of the last connecting rod nut when I was doing the engine and couldn't get over 40 ft/lb when I needed 55 ft/lb. This stud has about two full threads of engagement in the casting, not what I'd call a super design. I guess I'll just tap out to 7/16" thread and open up the matching hole on the pump. Maybe a dab of JB weld on the backside of the new stud to seal and protect from corrosion. Any better ideas out there. I've never encountered a project with so many little nagging problems. I'm sure I'll encounter more before finishing up.
