New project 51 cub
I have just started a complete restoraion on 1951 cub. The tear down has went good so far. Have the front off, engine off & taken apart & delivered to the machine shop. The problem I have come across is the two bolts that hold down the seat stand. They will not move, I may have outsmarted myself, I used a torch and cut the heads off & they still won't move. There is about 1/2 inch sticking up, plenty to get a grip on, but they will not move. I often read the posts here, but hardly ever post myself. I know some of the experts will have an answer. Thanking you in advance for any help.

Since you have a torch, heat them good and let them cool, then spen a few days soaking them with a good penetrating oil. Also if you get a set of Sears bolt outs that will fit the bolt, or weld a nut to them and regularly use an impact wrench briefly. Patience is the key.
If you are not part of the solution,
you are part of the problem!!!

If you have a 1/2" sticking up I would weld a nut onto the remaining bolt shaft. The heat of welding and the cooling will help loosen the bolts. Then use some penetrating oil and they should come right out with a wrench. This worked for me on a few stubborn bolts I had on the platform under the battery box.
