Dumb newbie question should be easy to answer...

I have yet to produce a bale of hay...still getting my equipment repaired and ready. Getting close though. May even get a few practice bales yet this year.

I have a John Deere 214WS wire-tie baler that's in excellent condition, but it needs a shear pin. Now for the question...do I just use a proper sized un-hardened bolt, or are shear pins special so that I need to buy it from the Deere dealer?

Thanks!

Thanks y'all! Just like asking what oil to use in the tractor - diverse opinions. It helps to know whatever I do, it will probably not be a disaster. I'll probably try JD first, then pick up some bolts at the hardware and try them.

That's probably the best way to go. you will have a reference point to go from by using the 'right' bolts, and then see if the cheaper hardware ones work as well. Just don't get grade 8 bolts - that would be a bit much! ;) I use regular hardware gr2 bolts from the hardware store. Altho it was handy to get a couple packs of bolts from the Quality store when it was selling out for 50% off, they worked well but don't know who would market them now... That was for my NH baler.

I have a JD 214T and always use the JD pins. My NH shear pins on the old baler and the NH manure spreader were on "odd" size, just a fraction off a standard size so I always used dealer bolts there too.

I used to use plain old #2 from the hardware store until I tried the regular shear bolts from the New Holland place. What a difference. The #2's would smear when they broke and sometimes be very hard to get out while the regular ones broke clean.

Chuck,

I use Grade 5 in my IH. My IH dealer didn't have any , told me they were #5 and sent me over to the grange for them.

Grade 2 bolts always worked fine for me as shear bolts.
