The flywheel holes I don't think are too bad. I'm actually heading out in a few minutes to a machine shop with the flywheel to have it checked out.
I'm definitely beginning to think I'm looking at pulling the crankshaft and replacing it. At this point I have so much of the front of the tractor in pieces, I may take it all the way. These bolts are fused into the crankshaft holes for some reason. I'm going to finish drilling as clean as I can and try to run a tap through them and see if the threads come back to life. If not, I'm looking at going the distance.
