I stopped at my local TSC to buy some 1/2 x 3" Grade 2 shear bolts for my Brush Bull rotary mower. They didn't have any and the salesman said, "All the guys are using regular bolts of the same size." So, I went over to the fastener section. They had Grade 8, Grade 5 and Steel bolts, according to the labels on the drawers. No Grade 2 bolts. Is it OK to replace a shear bolt with a regular Grade 2 bolt?
