If they are in there that tight and an impact hasn't worked then welding or grinding are about the only options left. Grinding will require extra work so I'd go with welding. If you can weld or have a neighbor that welds get some 1/2" (wrench size) plain nuts, grind or "clean" the bolt heads then weld the inside of the nuts to the heads. It doesn't take much and usually makes quick work of the job.
Good luck!

I've had great success heating the nuts from below with a propane torch. A little heat causes the nut to expand and loosen the rusts grip enough to turn the bolt out.

This might be the excuse I've been looking for to get a welder! Whoo Hoo!! However, I think I'll try the chisel first.

Common issue. Mine came out using the largest slot screw driver in my arsenal. Pressing down firmly and turning it with a large crescent wrench (square shaft). If you end up with a welder, consider welding a rod to the end of the stuck bolt. Use something like a cane bolt that has a bend you can use for leverage. My friend 500passwords used an old cub driveshaft. (he shows you exactly how in vid 2 or 3)

I just take a 5/16 drill bit and go about a 1/4" down into the head of the screw and knock off the top with a chisle.Then I just use a vice grip and Pb blaster and unscrew it from the bottom.

I used a dremel disk & enlarged the bolt head for the screw driver slot.
Heated the bolt on the underside, then the bolt itself. With the slot of the bolt being enlarged it came out easy. Nik,

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.
