Radius Arm Pins : Replacement?

FrankOceanXray · May 15, 2020

Replace with pins or bolt with nut?

Bolts were used for mine. They were bent and threads wore off. Clearly need replaced.

Depends on what you are doing with the
tractor. If you're building a trailer
queen I might spring for the pins to keep
the correct police off my back.
For a worker I would use regular bolts -
grade 5 or better.

Hah, glad you specified. Correct police won't come near my tractor. WWII Early OD Green and will have a few other things not originally spec'd by Henry or Harry.

Thank you. Ordered some Grade 8s from BoltDepot. McCaster Carr just was too pricey with package pricing.

Bolt I removed had the threads all worn down.. didn't know if pin was best practice. Bolts it is.

Just another plug for Bolt Depot.
I have ordered from them several times
and got good prices and service from
them.
Was looking for some round head and some
oval head machine screws recently. BD had
the round heads in steel but oval heads
in stainless only. I wanted them to hold
paint so had to source the steel oval
heads elsewhere.

I keep mine I'm cardboard, too! I will place them as I got them, so the bolts even go back to the same holes.

I ordered some through Bolt Depot. Should be quick to get to me. They are MA. I'm in MD.

Your 9N would have originally had bolts and nuts holding the radius rods to the front axle.
