starter bolts

Anyone know where to get new starter bolts for an 8N? I can barely tighten them with a flare nut wrench or 6pt socket. Have tried regular bolts the right length, but for some reason they will not pass all the way through the starter with the full size shanks.
 
Looks like they are getting hard to find, a 'net search didn't turn up much besides new ones (1811091) at the New Holland dealership for almost $30 apiece!

I'd turn the heads down in the lathe, thread them for a 5/16" nut, then weld 'em in place.
 
Thought about welding some nuts onto the existing heads, or turning the shanks down on the regular grade 5 bolts I bought that will not go through the starter all the way. Your suggestion seems like a better way to go.

Hopefully I will not have to pull the starter again for a long time:)
 
Well, that beats 30:) Thanks. Will see if I can find them.

I have a hard time finding anything on that site, seems all different models are mixed up together.
