I think most of us could afford to buy a single decent snap-on drill bit for a tough job. I think I have my answer for where to get a 1/8" bit now for when I have to do my PTO ($6.10/ea.. it is HSS though.. Can't find a Cobalt in 1/8" but "close" is like $11/ea). Stuff isn't free at Sears either...

I've drilled drills before and I'll pay $11 to not do it again. Fixing the block if things go wrong is gonna cost WAY more than that in the case of the OP.

The biggest thing that sucks about snap-on is tracking down a truck if you're just a regular dude. Some days its 5 minutes away, other days its 3 hours.

That's a problem...

Get that one soaking too and I'd be measuring the hole for the length of bit and extractor you need. Good luck!

I had that one break off when I rebuilt my K-301 in my 125. I took it into work and used the vertical mill to drill out the broken bolt.

Once you remove the head, what may work is to take a piece of 3/4" to 1" thick steel square bar ( 3" long would be fine ) and drill a 5/16" hole thru it on a drill press. Using the other bolt holes, clamp the bar down in the correct position and drill the broken bolt out. 5/16" is the correct size for 3/8-16 NC

If the bolt is broken off flush, your better off welding a washer to it, then a nut. The heat from welding helps to break the bolt loose also. Usually they come right out. Plus, saves the risk of broken drill bits, easy outs, and the like. This is my first choice on removing a broken bolt.

if you have to drill it if you can get your hands on a set of left handed drills so if it loosen up after you start it will turn it out.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
