Redneck Tapered Implement Bolt
This method has been discussed on here before. Since I never have any new ideas, this is how I did it.
First take a 5/8" x 3" bolt and cut off the head.  Jam two nuts on threaded end.  Chuck bolt in drill press.  Grind taper with angle grinder while running drill press.  Finished Bevel on nut.  Install beveled nut on a 5/8 " bolt.  Use Locktite to keep nut tight against the head of bolt. 1947 Cub S/N 9216 (My Dad's "Uncle Bob")

That looks right near perfect to me. I think this might make the how to forum.

Hey Rudi, sorry about the large pics. I have a new camera and can't figure out how to make smaller ones.

Re: Redneck Tapered Implement Bolt
Neat. Is the grinder held some way to control the angle of the bevel? If I tried to freehand it I would never have two the same. I could of course always use the backup system: "Uncle Allen, how?" Vern

Re: Redneck Tapered Implement Bolt
A boni-fide, card-carrying Redneck might be offended by the disparaging nature implicit in the title of your posting "Redneck".....Tapered Impliment Bolt; what about "engineered", "creative", "improvised", etc, there's got to be a better way!! Us Rednecks have feeling too!!! JH

Personally I like the unresized ones as they leave options. Thanks for putting together article #2  great job Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship

Re: Redneck Tapered Implement Bolt
I just freehand the grinder while the drill press is turning, using a real tapered bolt as a guide. I use the grinder in the pic with a hard wheel to rough grind the nut. Then I switch to another grinder with a 60 grit disc to give it a better finish.
If I have offended any Red-Necks out there I sincerely Apologize. We Red-Necks are so sensitive.  1947 Cub S/N 9216 (My Dad's "Uncle Bob")
