I've developed an appreciation for McCormick Farmall nuts and bolts after I foolishly took a hard chisel to a stuck nut on my sickle mower for my SA. (See previous post to observe a rookie in action.) Live and learn. That nut was a beauty. Where do I get good grade nuts and bolts, or better, original nuts and bolts for a Super A? Not only do I need one for the mower, but I also need a few bolts for the drawbar area under the rear axle. The big, long ones at the rear and the next set of smaller bolts (pins?) farther forward.

Until I tried ones from the local Ace Hardware, I didn't know how well machined and solid the originals were. My Binder operator's manual doesn't seem to specify them. Thought I'd ask here before calling around.

Thanks a lot,
Bill in Alabama

Looking at the posts, you'll need to specify heavy nuts. If you have a machine shop or old hardware store or do you have a Fastenal bolt shop around that supplies the shops? I see at Mc Master you'd have to buy 50. I think those axle nuts are what they call T-slot nuts. They're used for fixtureing or clamping on machines.

The ones I do have are hex heads, not T's, but maybe T's would work. And, yep, I'm trying to clamp my sickle bar mower on with them. I have a Fastenal over in Selma, so I'll check with them. Thanks for the suggestion; I sure don't need 50 of them!

What I was refering to as T's were in the McMaster catalog under T nuts but not the T's that fit in the grooves. As I see it they used them on the other side of the stud. I had the McCormic H's and know your talking about them heavy nuts that are about double in length. Wonder if a coupling nut could be faced off. there must be some good used ones out there though.

McMaster-Carr has a wide selection of bolts from grade two to better than grade eight. They have them in different types and coatings. I like the Ultra coat they are expensive but they are the best bolt that I have found so far. In the top left hand corner type Armor coated bolts.

I dont think they make hardware like they used to.You may have to find dealers that still have originals in stock.That or dig through the milk crates at auctions and swap meets.

I'd have to agree with you. Never worked with heavy metal before, but I now realize it's hard to find stuff that will stand up to the pounding and pressure. Thanks for replying. I'm keeping my eyes peeled.

You might try OEM Tractor Parts. They have a web site.
