Re: IH Die Cast Tractor - 856??
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
			
			I used a stepped drill - chucked up a small drill for centering and aligning.  Clamped a heavy piece of plate steel on the drill press off the side of the table - then clamped the die cast to it. 
 
Nice thing about stepped drills is that they don't wonder much. 
 
As for cutting fluid - I prefer WD-40 or 3:1 for the die cast. 
 
Mostly WD-40 for  our aluminum stuff.
