Crankshaft Bolt......arghhhhhh 120-130

I am turning it counter clockwise....I wish the solution were that easy!

The engine is off of a 140 series, so it had a 2 or 3 belt grooves which means the bolt is recessed a bit into the the pulley.

I think that I am going to try some more heat on the socket, cherry it, whack it onto the stripped bolt and then try the starter trick some more, breaker bar with a big pipe, whatever it may take.

Like I said the Mig that I have probably does not produce enough heat to weld it on. To the bolt.

Another thought, if I grind the head off can I pull the pulley off and then use a big ole pipe wrench on the end of the bolt?

A big thanks to everyone for their help. We'll get this some way.
