manifold studs

[Tiller1940]

Is there a place where i can get manifold suds for farmall B and C?
Alao how do you remove the broken stud? Thankyou

You can purchase studs from auto parts stores, hardware stores, tractor dealerships.

How much of the broken stud remains?

[Tiller1940]

Most of both of them remain.It is broke of even with the manifold on my B amd on my c it is broken off even with the head they are both the ones closest to the radiator it is only one on each tractor.

[havoc1482]

let em soak in a penetrate and then vice grips and see if they'll turn out. Thats what I did at least.

[Tiller1940]

Ok will they turn hard and do they thread out normal or are they reversed threaded?

[Eugene]

Studs will unbolt in the normal direction.

As I read the post the manifold and head are still in place. If you can not get a tool, vise grips, pipe wrench, on the stud you may have to remove enough of the stud to bring it down to the mounting hole size, then remove the manifold and head. That should leave you enough stud to grip and remove.

They are normal right hand threads, turn to the left to remove. threads are normally different on each end. May or may not come out hard, depends on how long since last removed.

Ok thank you all for helping me. I am putting new manifolds on both tractors and found out they had a stud sheared off that's why I asked.
