I snapped off a 1/2" bolt trying to take off the operators platform of my project. I was puzzled because I was using a 1/2" drive ratchet when it broke and I didn't think that I was applying that much torque when it let go. Looking at the broken part of
the bolt it wasn't partially cracked through or anything. The steel didn't look bad. Maybe a wee bit of rust intrusion around the shank of the bolt. What i did notice was a lack of markings on the bolt head. Noticed the same lack of markings on the
fender mount bolts that I am fighting to get unstuck. Are these grade two bolts I'm dealing with here?
