I've got a Ford 3600 with the 3 cyl diesel. it has (2) bosses on the right side (one above the other separated by about 14") that have (2) tapped holes in each. I'd like to use these pads to mount an accessory I'm planning to add to the tractor. I tried a 5/8" bolt (too small, slips right in) and a 3/4" bolt (too big by a hair). Is this a 11/16" Whitwhorth thread? If so, I notice it's tough to find them locally. McMaster-Carr is my "go-to" supplier and they don't have them.
I'm thinking of drilling them out and re-tapping for 3/4" bolts, which I have on hand. Anybody try this? Or anybody got a supplier for the British bolt sizes? Finding the right bolt would ultimately be easier.
