Looking for '41 JD A head studs

YooperFarmall · Dec 1, 2015

Can anyone suggest where I can find nine 7 3/16" studs for a 1941 JD A? The local John Deere dealership has them for $37 each, looking for alternatives.
Thanks much

1940 to March of 1947 are the same. Lots of used ones around and if you need to have new I believe you can get them from MSC.

They're easy to make using a grade 5 bolt.

Usually no need to replace them, unless they've been misplaced.

If my memory is right the treads that screw into the block are different from the end that the head nuts go on. I ran across this on my G. Maybe someone can chime in on this.

YF Got some from MSC Direct that were 8 inches long and brother put them in his CNC lathe and cut them to length. About $5 apiece. Higher tensile strength than Deere's so you can torque them to 150 ft lb rather than 125 ft lb. They are rolled so center is a little smaller than the cut ones. I put them in with Permatex NO. 2 in a 1945 A this summer and worked fine. Lynn

You're right Ben. The threads on the block end were not cut as deep which made for an interference fit.

I go to a cat dealer to get my studs

I have an "A" parts tractor I just took the head off of. I would be happy to part with the ones I have from that. Send me an email if you want them. Shipping is on you.
