Rear Blade Cutting blade bolts nomenclature

[/pine]

Is there a name for the concave pan headed (carrige) bolts that hold the cutting blade to a scrape/box blade etc.?

Does TSC carry them?...online sources?

Sounds like you're describing a plow bolt or an elevator bolt.

Check this link: ** AARON'S CAP SCREWS, bolts fasteners, nuts, washers **

Our TSC here would likely carry them, though you don't mention an actual size or application. They are near the farm and fence area, not with the rest of the hardware.

Thanks guys...
I knew they had to have a name...

I think the ones I need are 3/8 or possibly 1/2....

I have a very old MF scrape blade that is just a little big for my tractor but it does handle it...I'm considering off-setting the blade by removing the bolts and shifting it to the right by 12" or whatever the bolt pattern is...


many if not all the old bolts will need to be cut off...

The hardware store will call them "plow bolts". Ken Sweet

I just replaced all three on my 72" JD MMM. The bolts were cheap and available at TSC, but it was the concave washers that were pricey. $7 apiece at the dealer!!!!!

went to one TSC store today and they did not have a clue about the bolts...I looked in all the obvious and suggested places in the store...will try a different TSC...

If it were me, I'd take one out and see what it looks like. You may be able to put in a standard carriage bolt and grind the head flat afterwards.

Look in the area where they have the replacement baler teeth and PTO shafts. They are not in the hardware section as mentioned. My TSC has bins full of them.
