End result, cutting discs through the countersunk pocket and head of bolt wins the race. Pockets are $15. Discs are a few bucks. Pretty quick work. Think that was Mick's input, IIRC, so Thanks!

Good to know. I haven't had time to work on the grinder, nor the need. As it happens, my stump subcontractor called this morning, looking for business, winter discount.

I read "freshly mixed 50 acetone/50 atf", iirc

Very much the same sentiment here.

The threaded pocket that clamps the cutter. https://goo.gl/images/mGVMK4 https://goo.gl/images/UtKEqy

What?

Recessed allen head and threaded into the far-side pocket, no nut.

Did you cut through the pocket to get to the bolt head, Mick? These pockets are very worn, so new ones will have metal. I don't know how much imbalance will cause vibrations.

Thanks, Tom. What am I at risk of damaging, if anything with heating and quenching?

Thanks for all the good advice. It will take time to digest. I don't know differences between welding types. Saw a plasma cutter used, once, forever ago. Right now, I'll probably outsource the torch work and get some D-rings welded on. I'm super cramped on space at the moment, and keep...

I spoke to my friend this morning on a social call. He's not sounding busy, so I might get him to do a bit of welding and a bit of torch cutting. Thanks for the advice. If I just want to buy a cutting torch, can you offer some input on an entry level torch? The welding's not pressing.

I've used an angle grinder. I know there are things called cutting torches and welders. ;) I'll replace the bolts. Grinding out the pockets sounds terribly time-consuming. I'd wondered about drilling out the heads of the bolts. Sounds cheap and easy. I know that they are threaded pockets...

Heat and penetrating oil helped to break free most of the old Rayco style pockets to replace the teeth. Some bolt head's recessed hex heads rounded out. What to do? Do I need a cutting torch? Will that risk warping wheel?
