Just wondering how you made out. If their rusted on it will be a challange to break them loose. If all the PB blaster / wd-40 stuff didnt work you;ll need to do one of the following: 1.) heat up the clamp real good - cherry red with a tourch then try the biggest socket set you have - the IH wrench is the best and a real long cheeter bar 6' with 8' even better. With a little luck you can unbolt them. Their is a real good chance you'll have to replace the clamp and bolts. 2.) if the above dosen't wotk cut the bolts off - all 4 of them with a oxy-acc tourch and punch out the clamp. You'll need to purchase a new clamp and 4 bolts. Hopefully the cut off bolts will turn and you can get them out otherwise you'll be cutting them out with the torch also. The newer bolts are made out of grade 8 steel so drilling them out won't work as they will be harder them most drill bits - even the cobalt drill bits will have trouble. Not a real good solution but it might be what you need to do especially if the bolts were bent at some time. my late 2 cents - hope it helps

A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
