My 3 point hitch is now a 2 point hitch. The hinge pin on the LH side broke the bolts on the case and broke out the center hole and bolt hole. Doesn't look like an easy fix as can't get to it to remove broken bolts and then weld it all back up, drill and retap. It looks like there is a provision right below the pin to mount a smaller pin. Hole is to small for the existing pin and looks like the bolt pattern is the same. The question is was there at one time a smaller pin on the left side available?, How difficult is it to remove the differential case to get it fixed? Any options or methods to remove the broken bolts. Both are about a 1/2 inch inside the case, so cant get at them to easily remove. Was thinking if can get them out might be able to use some super dooper epoxy . Live out in the sticks and a long way to a dealer, so looking to take this apart if need to myself. Can get at the bolts with an angle drill. Was thinking might be able to drill a bolt for a pilot to drill the bolts to maybe get an easy out on them , or maybe try to epoxy a bolt onto them after putting a little oil on the existing hole (carefully to avoid getting any on the bolt end). Thoughts?, ideas? or am I doomed to tear this all apart
Thanks
