A previous post here has me thinking about terminoligy. To me if a wheel has a bolt pressed in and uses a nut to hold the wheel on, it is a bolt. If it is a stud, the wheel has a threaded hole and the stud is removed to remove the wheel. Some studs have threads on both ends. He said "stud" wore off, so there would be no way to press out. Not wanting to be pickey here..just wanting to be sure that we each talk about the same thing. I spend a lot of time helping computer people over the phone and I sure had to learn to be exact in what I described. Like all ways, YMMV depending on where you come from.

I went to Latin America a few times for Dana. What my interpter and I found out in Latin American there were 8 different spanish words for piston rings! so it is not just bolts studs cap screws etc. Hope you all had a very good Monday.

Well, I'll certainly try to explain the difference to you as best I can. There are times when my father used to say to me, "Boy, there are times when you can be dumber than a box of bolts", and "stud" isn't something that my girlfriends ever called me.

I certainly hope that helps.

Mark

Place I used to work at had as their chief mechanical engineer a stuffy old British guy who would argue with and correct anything a mere machinist said. According to him, any externally threaded fastener without a nut on it was a screw. He may be right, as I've never heard the phrases wood bolt or sheet metal bolt. 'Course one time when he and I went to Scotland to work on one of our machines that a customer was having trouble with, we needed a pipe fitting so we piled in the lorry and motored down to the ironmonger's supply. And I was just going to jump in the pickup and run down to the hardware! Bloody Yank. Jim.

I wonder if he was the same person who came up with the term "Muff Coupler" used in the David Brown tractors

Kind of wish I hadn't written that...too early in the morning. Wish I could pull it. More I think about it... If that long rod can be removed, its a bolt. If it stays in place, its a stud. Would that be right? Like a head bolt or a exhaust manifold stud?

There ya go. A stud may be pressed in or threaded in, but is not intended to be removed in the normal course of things. Also, studs don't have hex heads.

I got to thinking on the way to work after I posted that this morning that I'd screwed up, cuz the wheels on my Jap Deere CUT have threaded holes in the axle flange and use taper-headed bolts to hold the wheel on. It struck me as possible that he had the same situation and had broken a couple of bolts with the threaded portion still in the axle flange. He'd have been in DEEP doo-doo if he'd followed my advice under those circumstances.

Reading his reply, I see that I lucked out and he does actually have pressed-in studs. Whew...

i agree the second time around. i work in the auto industry so a stud would be pressed into the hub and would accept a lug nut. a "bolt" would act like a lug nut only screws into the hub to hold the wheel on. just my 2 cents.

Hey, I resent that, then again I'm not everyone.
I make it a point to distinguish between a motor and an engine. Motors are electric, engines are internal or external combustion. External you say? Yes, like a steam engine.

I deem the second example correct for stud vs. bolt.

I've heard the engine vs motor debate several times. My opinion is the terms are almost interchangeable.
Remember, the next time you're riding your enginecycle, watch out for all the rest of the engineists on the road.

Motors can also be air, or hydraulic, point being a motor gets it's energy form far away, and engine makes it right there, no wires, or pipes bringing it in from who knows how far away.

You are certainly correct, I just wasn't thinking of the others when I made the post.

 hit or miss in reply to greenbeanman in Kansas, 02-14-2005 08:58:57  
Dare I bring up that every body with and old gasoline (not gas)horizontal engine calls it a "hit or miss" even when it has a carburator type governor?
