I have ordered two piece Ag rim/wheel for the rears and are bolted together with carriage bolts. What grade hardware is this type application ? Off the shelf at the hardware store ?
I would use grade 8 carriage bolts. McMaster has them. Usually next day delivery.

Firstly, I have forgotten my forum handle and password so when I got back up to speed, it seems I have a new forum handle. Old one was burr or something close to that.

I have finally found and purchased a tractor that fits my needs. I have been hunting (mainly thru TractorHouse) since before the virus and price increases and inventory shortages, and wondered if I ever would be able to afford a good useful worker tractor for my 11 acre wooded lot. I have been renting equipment to get me thru these times and I do not like renting. This is my third tractor and the second should have filled the needs (for good) for property maintenance ect but it was stolen.

I am a member here for a good while, mostly reading and learning than posting. This site is highly valuable to a starter or less experienced user. It seems a little more regional than my area but there are some deep south contributors with very similar situations also. And I appreciate it all. (for instance, I cannot imagine using a tractor to push snow!)

My purchase is a 2002 JD 5105 with FEL. and when I figure out attaching a photo, I'll post. A just about perfect fit for the needs of driveway, small food plots, collecting dead or downed trees and general clean-up that has been too much for a now 67yo to manage by hand. I'm tickled.

I plan to feed questions about this unit here in the very near future and thanks ...
Great choice! You will enjoy that

so putting the two piece wheels together, along with lock washers provided, should I use lock-tite ?

I have seen several photos of this model tractor and I plan to put together the same wheel stance as these photos show. It seems to provide adequate clearances for mounted tires.

I want to change the engine oil on this '05 5105, I have purchased oil and filter. The drain plug and filter are apparent and reachable. I cannot find the oil 'fill neck' or equivalent. Does anybody know where to add engine oil to this unit ?
