Removing stuck bolt

[Mursal]

No, nor can I.
Just explaining how a hollow ram can be used.

 

[mo!]

I can t see how that will pull the bolt out

You weld the bolt onto the studding that pulls through the centre of the ram.

You would really need the bolt head to do that successfully?

@KennyO the best way to do that is get a mag drill and drill round the pipe that bolt goes through and take it out pipe and bolt complete then probably drill out a fresh hole through both sides of the box to make sure it is all square get a new bush made for a 20mm bolt and weld it in then drill bracket to suit, won,t cost much really and then it’s properly sorted. Even if you get that bolt out the hole will still be worn and bolt will not stay tight anyway common issue on older overum ploughs

You wouldn't be able to alter furrow width if you drill it out at 20mm

What, again?

Yes. Pull from one side and hit from the other.

 

[Renaultman]

Anyone mentioned direct drilling yet ?

I was tempted to mention ours doesn't gibg any more trouble now, as it never moved.

 

[Grassman247]

Cut the bloody thing up and scrap it [emoji23][emoji23]

 

[Pennine Ploughing]

is it nearly out yet

 

[KennyO]

try brute force and ignorance

That has been tried and certainly failed.

Spark erosion

Would be perfect, but the only equipment I have seen for this is quite small, may be hard to find one you could put a plough in!

 

[aidan]

Is it out, so many instructions don’t know what to do maybe

 

[KennyO]

is it nearly out yet

Think it is staying where it is. Going to weld the bugger up. Tried heating the middle but no success.

I have riveted the bolt in solid. Too much brute force and ignorance @glasshouse

As @Zebbedee described cutting it out would be only option now. If bracket holes weren't knackered i would take this route.

Will weld all five which solve the movement problem.

Buy a good quality drill bit, 16mm and bore it out with a mag drill, slow speed and plenty of lubricant,
However if the rest are the same, then weld them

 

[Ley253]

Welding may not be the cure your hoping for, The material may well be high carbon steel, welding that with standard rutile(6013?) rods does not work. I would advise you to obtain some stainless steel rods, they will weld any ferrous metal to any other ferrous metal, and make a good job of it.

 

[Mursal]

Are stainless steel rods better than cast iron rods for welding unknown materials?
