9/16" threaded hole in LoBoy drawbar bracket-SOLVED

[Barnyard]

Where do you even find a 9/16 bolt?

That is what I was wondering.

Pictures is of the Lo Boy draw bar bracket on a 1960 Lo Boy with a 5/8 11 draw bar bolt threaded in the bracket from the out side.

I will have to look at my Loboy drawbar brackets. Interesting, maybe something new to learn.

I didn't have time to try and chase the hole for 5/8", I'll do that tomorrow. My holes were pretty clean though.

The internet, where else!

However if you have a old farmall A or B floating around, I am fairly sure the wheel lug screws are 9/16

I have some 9/16” bolts in the bolt bin. I screwed a 9/16” bolt into my bracket and it was pretty sloppy, a 5/8” didn’t seem to want to start, at first but when I got it just right, it screwed in. There was paint in the holes or it would have screwed in easily. Actually, there are quite a few applications for 9/16” fasteners, like millions of pick-up trucks wheel studs and nuts, the tractors Sam mentioned as well as other tractor brands. The pivot bolt on a Monroe tractor seat is 9/16”.

Runnings carries a wide variety of 9/16" bolts. Grade 5 and 8, fine and coarse thread.

I'm embarrassed to say that it is a 5/8" thread. Per the suggestions, I ran a 5/8" tap through it. The tap actually turned about as hard as if I was threading a new hole. At least there was some conversation about 9/16" bolts.....

[Gary Dotson]

A much needed conversation, I might add! Don’t be embarrassed, Bob, we’ve all done such things.

I had never heard of a 9/16 bolt until I had to find a nut for the JD B hand clutch lever pin...had to buy 6 off the internet to get one...
