Hello All, A couple years back I got a crusty 312A to run for a friend of mine.... well since then he has cleaned it up and thrown some paint on it and has fallen in love with it. Back when I got it running the head gasket was blown and leaking but the tractor ran fine..... I went to change the gasket but when I stuck a ratchet on it the bolts would not loosen and gave that "springy" not so good feeling that a bolt gives just before it snaps and makes your day.... well I told my friend to run it as-is and that we would deal with it at some point. The gasket is getting worse and worse and I figure it won't be long before theres no gasket, no compression and no run...... so is there any tricks to getting the bolts to loosen or am I going to snap them off and deal with drilling etc..... something I really really really don't want to deal with. I'm just stumped as I have never had a head bolt frozen in a block EVER..... Tony
