My old Snap Couple Blade is getting restored. Wondering if anyone can give me a resource to locate this bolt block? Mine has two broken bolts long rusted in as well as two that are stripped out. Before I get too excited and go to working, I am hoping someone maybe has one.

T his photo shows the other piece of the bolting assembly on the snap couple blade and you can see the bolting block without the adjuster frame in front of where i am pointing.

| There are 3 ways, first drill and extract, second weld a nut to the bolt, and the easy way is to take a pencil and draw it OUT!! couldn't resist. Good luck |

I did kinda as has been sugested with mine...that is replace the threaded area with several nuts...ya gotta cut away the threads and "space" the bolts with the part with the holes in it ....I actually had a professional welder do it even though I weld...it has been too long and I don't have a welder that would penetrate.

Allen (Draw it out) LOL That is funny right there. There was a man parting one out on the old site. Can't remember the name maybe Andy from N or S Carolina. I bought a handwheel and angle plate from his blade. |

You might get lucky and try electrolisis(sp) to 'draw' the rust out of the threads. I've done it a few times seems about a 50-50 deal. Heck ,let it cook overnight...can't hurt anything !! ------------- 3 D-14s,A-C forklift, B-112 Kubota BX23S lil' TOOT( The Other Orange Tractor) Never burn your bridges, unless you can walk on water |

| If it was just broken bolts and rust, I would be dreading the project. The additional mess of stripped threads means drilling out and tapping unless the helicoil is used. That is getting busy! I am going to work on the rest of the blade assembly and if a decent block does not turn up for sale, I'll have a project for the machine shop. That is a big drill and tap. |

Wow, im sure my dad would make short work of this. Honestly this looks easy compared to having to fix %80 of the broken bolts that hold the side panels(under gas tank) on my d17. All are broken flush with frame, no i didnt do it. But i sure do cringe when i think about when it comes time to fix these. Good luck, perhaps a little Kroil penetrating oil. I think you can fix without welding. $0.02

you could always just weld it together thats what most ppl did when they got tired of fixing the bolts weld will be stronger so it wont break as easily just my two cents NICKMI |

Take it off and take it to a machine shop. There's one close to me that can fabricate or repair just about anything. Something like that would be a quick and easy fix in a mill. A couple plunge cuts and and tap out the remains. ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian."
