I'm new at this haybine thing, so please bear with me. My local TSC doesn't carry 1/2" fine thread grade 8 bolts, so I'm thinking maybe coarse thread with some loctite might do? Or am I asking for trouble here. Also, the parts guy at NH told me I have to run the bolt up the through the pitman arm. Is he just having fun with a newbie? Seems a whole lot more work than just dropping it down through the hole and putting the nut on the bottom. Cut some hay over the weekend and the machine worked great until I started getting cocky and sped up. Clogged the rollers, busted some rivets off the cutter bar and broke the cutter bar boltclean off, taking the rubber bushing with it. If nothing else, this machine'll teach me patience!

Yes the fellas are right the bolt goes in from the bottom side, it is also a damn good idea to use the correct bolt to prevent damage to the machine in case you hit something or overload it. The correct torque is 85 foot pounds. Usually when a fella starts improvising he is headed for trouble. Good luck

Hi Chip,,

Yes, put the bolt back in just like it came out, bolt up from the bottom and nut on top. It's easy to do with a socket and box end wrench. Replace the bushing if it's damaged too.. You should be able to get the bolt and bushing from a NH dealer anywhere. If you're not close to a dealer they can ship it so you will have it in a couple of days.. The dealer can also tell you the proper torque for the bolt..

If you put the correct bolt in from the top, it will extend down into the hole in the knifehead shoe, preventing the knife from moving. Fine thread bolts hold their clamp load better than coarse. Proper torque of this bolt is critical for bolt and bushing life. Buy the right bolt and install it correctly. What does your operator's manual say about it? Some parts guys know their stuff.
