I have a 3 pt hitch post hole digger.
its on the road a lot, if you know what I mean.
I want to be sure the shear bolt, from pto shaft to input shaft on the gear box, is the right hardness.
as I suspect, if anyone were to shear that bolt, they might pickup whatever they could find and keep on digging.
is the shear bolt a hard bolt or a soft bolt??
what grade??? and how do you tell a hard/soft bolt by looking?
so I can buy some extras bolts and let them go along with the digger, if a neighbor want's to borrow the digger.
bolts appear to be 5/16" bolts
thanks,
