Well rather pleased with myself got them both out. Sanded carefully on the end of itty bitty nubs sticking out, they were basically flush, and tried wire welding some ¼” nuts to them. Right side took about 4 nuts, but came out, left side came on the first nut. Well started rebuilding the control block, buy the parts list there was supposed to be a wavy spring washer in two of the holes, well not there.
I took apart one off a parts unit,it had one of them, in the other hole none. Well I just couldn’t put it together without it, so ordered one form Case IH ouch $38.00 if I remember correctly. Well was trying to finish it up and the o-ring for the control valve appeared to be to small it just about fell back in, 
was I think a Steiner kit. Well did some reading here and found others with the same issue. So ordered one of them from case IH $7.00. but fits much better. While on Steiner parts, got to rubber boots for the block. The one for the main cylinder was ok, the one they sell for the control valve is terrible, the larger end that is suppose to fit on the cast nub on the block is about a ½” to big. Well was able to make my old one work, so all should be good there.Well I got some flitz and one of this ball things for Christmas so I thought I would try it out. Here are some pics of where I did half the hood. Pretty cloudy so pics are a little dark.
Then here are some pics of the whole hood done, then I tried adding some wax and buffing it up. I am pleased with the end results. It is not miracle stuff and it does not put paint back on, but I would say it does work. This tractor has seen many, many miles of mowing, with probably miles of bush and branches rubbing across the hood.
