John Deere BR fender rivet size

riskinator · Feb 12, 2021

Hello. Once the weather turns nicer I plan on starting my first JD restoration on a really nice BR I bought. In preparation I picked up replacement fenders,pulley shield and hood from a local fellow that does beautiful work. I will need to drill out the old fender solid rivets and drive them into my new fenders. Question, what size are these rivets? Anyone know where I can source them? They are solid rivets with square shoulder profile.

Thanks for any help!

Every fender rivet I've seen looked like a normal mushroom type head. I use 3/16" rivets that are used to rivet the sickle sections on a cutting bar. Drill a 1/4" hole in a heavy piece of metal,insert the rivet, flatten the tops with a big hammer to get that original look.
