Help w/Battery Box 1973 8hp 4spd

Recommended Posts

Any advice?  Didn't realize that when trying to loosen the nut on battery box it was seized and snapped the screw that was attached/welded to box.  Is this part available as a whole or any ideas on a fix?  Thanks in advance.

My local farm store sells the replacement weld on studs.

Interesting, is it a chain farm store like tractor supply or just local?  Another gentleman was checking in entire box but if I can’t get that I’d buy those.  Thnx!

Being frugal I just cut the head off a 1/4 bolt file an inch or so of it so its kinda flat on one side and weld it to the box...

Independent store.

 

Time is money. You can spend time cutting and filing if it's your thing , or weld these on and be on to something else. :)
