They look like bolts made for the rear lifts like on the later quietlines and 82 series. They used these bolts instead of the rod all the way through.

yeah , I remember seeing a thread about that.....I guess those newer machines aren't something I'm familiar with..only frankenstien bolts I see are front attch. Gotta get with the times LOL

send me a set, I'll be happy to test them for yah...

Most people think that "Frankenstein Bolts" are the bolts for the QA on the front of the frame, but we are usually refering to the bolts for the rear lift.

I can make those front attachment bolts too. :beerchug:

I'd make them with a bolt, spacer and washer for a workable piece instead of machining a larger head bolt and chasing threads.

Sent you an email :beerchug:

Thats a great idea, with time and wear if it gets a flat spot you can replace the spacer instead of the whole bolt . I made a bolt the other day myself...
I picked up a 42 inch deck that the po must have lost the spindle bolt for..
So i that how hard could it be , after looking at cost of new and shipping
I decided to give it a try....drilled a hole from thread end through head of bolt
I think it was a 3/16 but I'd have to check to be sure . Then drilled a bigger hole in the bolt head and tapped it for the zirk. Thank goodness for drill press's .

Seems to be? :bash2:

Did somebody say drill press!!?? :bigthink:

I'm not trying to dog your work, just want to know... What materiel did you use to make the bolt ? Also the threads look shallow in the picture, but pictures can be misleading... or is that the normal thread depth ?
