: I have about four kinds of bolts holding the hood onto my 1941 John Deere model B, and I want to put the right ones on. Should these bolts be hex head, phillips head, clutch head or what? : Thanks. I have not looked at a B lately, but I needed some bolts for the hood and nosepiece for my Model M. I wanted orginial and was able to get them through John Deere. They are a pan head type "bolt" with a straight slot for a screwdriver. They are held into the sheet metal with a pin that inserts into the end of the bolt after it is stuck through the sheet metal hole. The pin retains the bolt in the sheet metal and also serves to fit into the holder to hold everything in place. The only way to remove one of these bolts (I'm told) is to grind the pins off and replace with a new bolt and pin, since trying to remove the old pin is almost impossible. New ones are still available and like everything else through John Deere, extremely expensive, over $5.00 each plus the little pin. Hope this helps.
