Dear Jack: Here is some information and '''advice'''. Yes the other responder is correct about the cost of bolts from particular suppliers. Here is a note about bolts for IHC series A B BN C CUB, etc; I [[ AS a person who was trained in the machine tool trade years ago]] have just finished investigating the grade of bolts used by IHC on all their older tractors. Even the auto industry uses the same grade TO DAY. THEY ALL USE GRADE #2 ( COST $0.10 less then grade 5 that you can add up over say 1000 "vehicles) quite a cost !! Any way to bring my off course chatter to a conclusion, HERE IS what I made my decision on /// BOLTS // I wanted to avoid as many lock washers as possible; using flat washers {so as not to damage a new paint job: some times double flat washers} bolts with nylon inserts, lock nuts with the same and blue semi permanent and red more permanent lock tight depending if it was to hold fenders or other parts that may at some time need disassembly. Also I wanted a better grade bolt that would not rust and leave stains and have good shear qualities [[ not that this is needed, since grade 2 was all that IHC used]] **** SO!!, I went to stainless steel with the above nylon locking inserts. THEY ARE EQUAL TO THE LOWER END OF THE GRADE 5 BOLT STRENGTH. COST ##### about 1 or 2 pennies, or less, over grade 5 FROM a fastener supply !!!! LOOKS:: IT WILL BE AMAZING WHEN I DO THE FINAL ASSEMBLY !!! EVEN sand blast & PAINT UP EXCELLENTLY!!!! BY THE WAY the tapered wheel cap screws for the axel rear wheel "discs" will have to remain original IHC steel cap screw wheel bolts // no one makes them in stainless /// unless you know some one who has a machine shop and is willing to give you the work for nothing. I am still painting and re assembling; but I assure you, you will like the out come of the project you are working on.// NOT shouting with large letters Just that My system will not let me underline or italicize. Now after my ranting and raving I hope you had a wonderful Christmas. May you have a blessed New Year. Wm.
