Getting ready to dive into the 147, to disassemble it for paint and general refresh of the tractor. Will try to add pictures along the way of the progress.

Haven't done much to it yet except take off the seat and sand a bit of the fender deck to see if it is worth saving, since it is got quite a bit of rust on it and some pretty severe pitting.

First problem though, taking the fender deck off the tractor, there is the bolts under the seat and then the flat head screws that go through the foot rest pads. I got the ones under the seat out, but the ones in the foot pads are rusted on there good. Any suggestions for getting them off besides heating them. I've tried penetrating oil and brute force but all I am doing is messing up the head of the screw. I thought perhaps I could use an airhammer and snap the heads off and get replacements or even getting a cutting wheel for my air grinder, any other suggestions?
