and smear them lightly with grease or anti seize so they tighten easily and properly. after cleaning those threads well. its no fun getting things half on and a bolt breaks or fails to tighten properly thats how things get smashed later. ive seen a few machines needing costly repairs be cause bolts were not properly tight or had worked loose.

I found those unused holes plugged with cork to protect them on some tractor.
Again proper cleaning and possibly re tap.
Seems like I have a 5J that has the holes marked but not drilled nor tapped. Not nearby so can't say for sure

I did all mine a couple of years ago. Only 3 out of 16 came out by unscrewing. The rest had to be drilled or blown out. I retapped them, added some copper anti-seize and fitted 16 new lug bolts. I had to remove the blade mounts a couple of weeks ago to get some machining work done and they undid very easily.

Thanks for your help. I got the bolt and clean all the threads and mounted the braces. I’m going to use Abe gee rear mount pump for now, but I’m looking for a cat 44 front mount.
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks Again
