Folks,
I need the greatest minds of antique tractor restoration to assist in this dilemma: the front rail cap screws to my '51 M have broken off leaving the studs frozen inside.

By the way, I did use plenty of penetrating liquid, heat, hard blows from a hammer, prayer beads and ouiggie board chants prior to all this.
