Removing stuck bolt

[Zebbedee]

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

Yea see what you mean @quattro i assumed it was the front hole as the older ones were 16mm on both holes but the same method I described could be used and leave it as a 16 mm bolt just a different bore in the new bush

I would think so, cast rods have very low ductile strength, or so my instructor informed me years ago.

how does that work?

Weld a threaded rod to the seized pin, sit hollow ram over threaded rod put a strong flat plate over threaded rod onto of ram run a nut on and jack out the seized rod using the plough body as its own anchor used one for the first time this summer and drew out a 75mm x 500mm seized pin out of the harvester head

That is what I should have done before hammering/ riveting the bolt it tight. . Local engineer told me yesterday that he has one too.

You missed the Thainstone sale yesterday best place for it.

If you can get a weld on it, then try it, those things are awesome

In fact IIRC we welded a nut onto it and threaded the rod into the nut

Maybe that’s where it came from,,,,,,

Find a local firm that will hire out a hollow ram jack and all your problems will be solved

Got one of these. Handy for pressing bearings and bushes in and out.

There's some pull in the buggers, the one I used was a 20 ton pull.

Can't remember pull on mine. Although it's never failed on me removing the most stubborn bearing, bushes out.

 

[Barleymow]

Anyone mentioned direct drilling yet ?

mag drilling has been mentioned

Everyone loves a stuck bolt in SOMEONE ELSE'S kit thread - it's nearly as good as seeing someone else's kit properly bogged

4718 views and if every one had given poor old @KennyO a £1 instead of dodgy advice he could of bought a new plough by the weekend and sod the bolt

 

[davidcardiff]

Mag drill with a tct cutter will sort that out
I’ve drilled out many a bolt in besson plough this way
You may have to drill from both sides
You can get them in xl series which are 110mm long
Either that or get a 40-50 cutter and drill out the complete bush and weld in a new one
Had to do that once too
It’s a rib or a bend in the bolt that’s stopping it coming out. No amount of heating and hammering will get it out

I suggest, with plough hitched to tractor for stability. Put a decent jack under the beam near the bolt, pump the jack up to lift the beam. There should then be clearance on the upper side to use a 9" grinder with a 1mm slitting disc between the beam & bracket to cut the bolts. Then turn the plough over & repeat
