I was taking a wheel off the $200POSEL, looks like they had put the
original spare on and did not tighten the bolts as it was a bit wobbly
on there. Anyway, getting the bolts out was hard, they were really
rusted in there, and one sheared off in the hub. I guess that means
that I will need to
Probably easier to get another used hub.

My 84 190D had a stripped bolt hole in each rear hub. I put 90,000 miles on it

Might see if a sharp chisel could tap out the broken one. Try a little heat and
oil first.

Unless it breaks flush with the hole, it's hard to center the bit in a broken
bolt. Maybe grind a hollow in the middle with a dremel to start the bit?
And always remember, left hand drill bits are your friend. Nothing beats having

Soak it with Kroil for a day or two. If that doesn’t loosen it, it’s not
coming out.

Lugnuts are over rated. I drove my F150 for a day with only 1 on each of
the left side wheels.
No idea why Ford put 6 on each wheel.

I got this kit that has drill guides for either protruding or
recessed bolts. It doesn't help when it's truly flush.

This one sheared off basically flush, I can probably centerpunch it to
get a hole to start drilling if I ever need to deal with it, which will
be after I get it running, if I get it running.

I have had incredible success with welding a nut on a broken bolt using a
wire feed welder with the nut held in position with pliers and the wire
inserted inside the nut so the weld is captured within the nut. Then pull
the weld trigger and make a weld puddle inside the nut.

Excellent advice. Now I need to get a welder ($$) and learn how to use
it (time). Oh, and the barn will need the power turned back on ($$).
There probably aren't any 220V outlets so I will need to get into the
box to wire something up ($$, time).
Or maybe I will just leave it until I might
ght the breaker trips.
For your purposes a 3kw generator would suit.
