Bought this MH 44 about 8 years ago, been tinkering on it for the past couple years as time permits. Today I got to removing some broken off bolts in the drawbar assembly. I love finding other people’s failed attempts at fixing stuff.

Top hole looked a little odd, of course you can’t peer in there very well.

Someone in the past had broken an easy out off in the bolt. The remains came out surprisingly easy.

The one on the left is the stub with the easy out. I still a amazed it came out on the first try. Had another bolt at the top of the case that was fresh broke off. That one fought till the end.
 
Ever tried that stick welding rod that is made for building up the broken bolt till you can weld a nut on to it? I've done it twice, just strike an arc and press the rod into the recess where the broken bolt is. The slag and flux won't fill the threads in a tapped hole.

Never have had the luxury to try that rod. I usually use a wire feed. This was easy to weld in cast, as the weld won’t stick to the casting.

Well thanks a lot. I've got a 2000 f150 with that exact same exhaust manifold bolt broken on the same side. Had a welder try to weld a nut on but it wouldn't hold as he couldn't really get at it with his wire welder.

Been living with it for years. Runs ok in the summer and in the winter it has trouble holding an idle till it warms up and then is ok. Always throws the P0174 lean cylinder code ever since. Might see if I can get a few without buying a whole box. Then I can get the wheel well out of the garage and back on it.
 
One mans junk is another mans treasure. Some break em and some fix them. Some would be better off if they had no tools for they don't know how to use them. Good for job security. Makes the world go around.
 
I've tried that method a couple times with no success. I just drill them out or heat them before twisting them off. Greasing and keeping things inside does the most for not having bolts rust in in the first place. We try to keep everything under roof. Great Lakes has to much rain for things to set out like hay.
 
I hate Easy Outs. The welder is the first tool I grab to remove a broken stud. I think 'Easy Out' is the wrong name for that type of extractor.
