Look for a Fastenal store in your area. You should find everything you need there. Take along the old bolts. Some may be cap screws that have hex heads. Hal
 
Have you tried any of your local hardware stores? They should have what you need. Do you have a tractor supply store in your area? How about a store that specializes in fasteners? Let the yellow pages do the walking for you as the old saying goes. Evan a Lowe's or Home Depot should have that size of bolt you are looking for. HTH

Unless you are trying to use original IH logo bolts and nuts which you will most likely have to find from your tractor or a donor/salvage tractor Fastenal as noted by El Toro (Hal) is your best source. I have found they can duplicate about anything but don't know if they can obtain the odd lengths in 1/8" dimensions or not. If an original bolt was 3/8", 5/8", 7/8", 1 3/8", etc. long one to the next quarter or half inch will most likely always be fine and if not reduce the length as needed. Most of the bolts originally used were Grade 5 with some higher grades for special requirements and a parts catalog will be very helpful, Hal.
 
I"ve never actually tried to buy any fasteners at the Fastenal store. When I check their Web site everything always seems to come in boxes of fifty or more so I assumed they didn"t want my onesy-twosy business.
 
(quoted from post at 18:28:32 04/17/14) I"ve never actually tried to buy any fasteners at the Fastenal store. When I check their Web site everything always seems to come in boxes of fifty or more so I assumed they didn"t want my onesy-twosy business.

They have hundreds of bins full of loose nuts,bolts,and washers. Buy one or a thousand, never been able to leave with one thing though.
 
re finding bolts and nuts to replace worn out coroded ones.
Here in the London area of Ontario I have tried Fastenall BUT was
much less pleased with them since I most often needed to
purchase larger quantities than I would like to. ( Yes they would
what seamed grudgingly sell me small quantities) YET I FOUND a
speciaty store called Lauries fasteners In LONDON ONT. who
would GLADLY sell me any quantity I needed. PARTICULARILY
WHEN I WANTED either grade 5 or even stainles since I wanted to
use stainless since the strength and durability was what I
wanted.
SO !! Look for a bolt and fastener supply in your area and cozzie
up to them. typed late at night

Whenever I want less then a full package of a specific item at Fastenal they order the quantity I want from a distribution center and have them available for pickup at their store in a couple of days. I have only purchased a full bag on a couple of occasions and they typically have stainless steel items available in smaller more desirable quantities then their other store stocked items. Check with your local Fastenal folks on what their store policy might be on small quantities as they have been very helpful in my hardware needs, Hal.
