I'm not a farmer, lol. But, your statement is noted. I really don't have a good reason for not getting new ones besides they came right out and looked fine.Only a farmer would reuse roller bolts.

5400. It has a lot of miles on it. Last time I looked, it has around 1200 hours clocked in travel time.How many hr on your 210?
It makes the job so much easier pulling the track frames and turning them upside down. If any bolts break they are easy to access and weld nuts to or drill out.My Case 450c needs new bottom rollers this winter and honestly I’m dreading it. They are original so they haven’t been touched since 1987. I know most of the bolts will probably shear off then I’ll be pulling the track frames...
If you go after those bolts like you don't have to get them out the first day, you'll probably do okay. Use oil like PB blaster suggested above. Heat up the track frame near the bolts with a rose bud. It draws the oil up into the offending threads.My Case 450c needs new bottom rollers this winter and honestly I’m dreading it.
