The bolt specs were provided by FarmallHal, he got them from his Farmall IH Parts Catalog. For the first set bolted to the cast iron center: 3/4" x 4 3/4" NC machine bolts along with 3/4" lock washers and hex nuts. For the second weight that bolts to the first weight: 3/4" x 3 3/4" NC machine bolts along with lock washers and hex nuts. washers should be 1 1/4" OD x 25/32" ID 10 gauge. I ended up purchasing the bolts from fastenal.com, for the first set instead of 4 & 3/4 length I went with 5", for the second set instead of the 3 & 3/4" length I went with 4" first set: http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=20373 Fastenal part no 20373 ¾-10 x 5” plain finish square head bolt $4.42 each second set: http://www.fastenal.com/web/products/detail.ex?sku=20369 Fastenal part no 20369 ¾-10 x4” plain finish square head bolt $3.65 each I got lock washers and hex nuts from tractor supply as well as 1 1/4" machine bushings that I put behind the lock washers. Each weight is 145 lbs, I lifted a weight to the cast iron center, lined up the holes and had my wife slip the top bolt in and finger tighten the nut. Then I was able to put in the other 3. I used the method of 1st weight to wheel center and 2nd weight to 1st weight because I was lifting them by hand, but another method is getting longer bolts and connecting both weights with the 4 bolts instead of 8. Good luck. [Reply]  [No Email]

I would use some grade 5 threaded rod with nuts on both sides that way one bolt could be used as a guide then put the rest in afterward. [Reply]  [No Email]
