Hello All
Can some kind person tell me what are the correct (original) bolts to attach hood/fuel tank to instrument panel please? My Cub came with what look like spouting bolts- rounded head with a cross slot.
Many thanks

You can see what they look like on the McMaster-Carr web site. Go to http://www.mcmaster.com/ then type "truss head machine screw" in the "find" field.

Many thanks for the info. It is interesting to note the language differences . A truss head screw was a new one to me. It reminds of the time I ordered a sump gasket from the US and got this tiny gasket -never found where it went- only afterwards I realised I should have asked for an oil pan gasket. The Forum maybe needs someone to translate things for us non-US people!

Hi 15 foye from France,
Yes it is difficult sometimes finding the right nomenclature. We both speak english, the European version and the american version, there are some very easy mistakes to be made. I make them all the time English French, but ENGLISH ENGLISH(US) is another matter. When I ordered from TM Tractor Parts the last time, they said that I had made them laugh with some of my descriptions,
As Jim says, go to the parts manual from Binder Books and get the right american name before trying to order anything.
Don't forget as well that all the nuts bolts and screwed fittings on the CUB are what we know as AF thread, Known over there as UNF and UNC, fine and coarse, I think that's right isn't it guys?
Metric doesn't fit even though a number of spanners "almost fit" from the metric range. I preserve every bent and twisted nut and bolt that comes off a cub, just in case.
Hows the restoration coming on? Look forward to hearing from you,
Our No 1 "Baby" is nearing completion, begins to look good, engine started today and has had first coat of RED.
Best Wishes, Pat

Truss head.... mmmm that's why mine are a bit on the small size.
I used stainless steel on many that I replaced, but all the ones that are unpainted are stainless, including the ones for the hood/dash (hood support panel)
I bought a 'size' plate from the fastener store, gives sizes (inch and metric) and has a thread gauge moulded in too. I should take a picture so you will know what I am talking about. It is very handy.
Parts book is INVALUABLE and available from a dealer, also on Rudi's site.
Found one mistake in the book, final drive pan bolts are 1/2" and the book says "1/ " so I have 20 primed and painted 1" capscrews. Ended up cleaning and using the originals.
Good suggestion to save the old bolts.... I have every nut, bolt and washer that came off my Cub in a box. Even saved the old wiring harness.

Bill
But they are a different thread construction, i.e. a 9/16th nut will not fit on a 14mm bolt, but a 9/16 bolt and 14mm bolt will both go into the same size hole.
I like to try to use the original thread bolts and screws where possible, I'va already had a warning from the Correct Police, yes it was quite a stressful few minutes, you know how they just turn up just when you don't want them, I was alredy red in the face (I was painting at the time) so of course they immediately knew that I was guilty.
What can you do but just stand back and let them inspect.
Even though the paint was wet they weren't purturbed at all, straight in, overalls on, latex gloves, breathing gear, ear defenders, protective glasses and of course the statuary breath freshener spray.
They were there for over 3 hours, do you know what they found in the end, just one minor slip-up that i'd managed to overlook, I have to say that it was my fault, as I said I was painting, red in the face, but you know, I'd been using the brush upside-down. Yes I was holding on to the bristles as I was painting that checker-plate round mounting pad just under the right hand side of the RH trumpet housing.
Well you know what's coming of course, due to my ineptitude in holding the brush upside down, I'd got the paint on that 2" square round pad on the wrong way up, yes upside down.
Where are they trained these guys, I say guys, but one of the six was female, difficult to tell of course, but yes, female, you can't even trust the girls now.
So be wary, keep your eyes open, they may just now be sizing up your upside down paint!
