1954 NAA

[RJfromGA]

Hello Folks, been awhile since I've been on here. Anyway, I have a 1954 NAA, 134. Tractor had been sitting outside for about 20
years. Had some bent pushrods, and stuck valves. Pulled the head, all bolts came out except one. Wouldn't you know it. Anyway
started drilling, used an easeout (extractor). You guessed it, broke the extractor. I have two questions. Any tips on getting the
extractor and bolt out (it boke off flush with block). and also do any of the head bolts go into water jackets? Thanks for any help
and response.

Here's an idea. Set a washer on top of the bolt and weld it to it.
Then weld a nut to the washer. The heat from welding them on will
loosen them up and the nut gives you something to turn it out with.

Stick a candle to it after it cools enough so the wax won't catch fire after being welded. That wax will wick into the threads and make it easier
to get out.

Thanks for responding, may give that a try. Also, do you know if any of the head bolts go thru any water jackets?
