I have used Grade B7 threaded rod to make head studs before. This steel very closely approximates a Grade 5 bolt. I ordered it from McMaster-Carr
The studs are still running in a Continental flathead engine in one of my forklifts. The way I use it is not quite the duty cycle of a tractor but I don't see a good engineering reason why it should not work. The torque specs will probably have to be adjusted if the stud is all coarse thread and the original setup used a fine thread.
