TractorEd 638 #1 Posted January 9, 2024 I have some stripped bolt holes used to mount the blower housing to the bearing plate. Has anyone used something like a heli-coil or nut-sert/ thread-sert to “fix” them? Any other creative fixes for this? Thanks, Ed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
