Hardware Guide?
 

I must have miss placed the bolts that I need to re-attach the tunnel cover to my 108. Anyone know the size I should go and buy?

On another note, has anyone put together a hardware guide for replacing all the hardware on a tractor? Is this something we might all work together and create as a loving family :bigthink: Maybe something like this....

Item --- Size --- Model(s)

I'm sure most of these parts are the same across a lot of tractors so we could put something together that could help all of us out.

Gene,
the parts books specify the hardware needed.

I always run a tap into the holes (cover and frame) then install 1/4X20 bolts.

THAT will hold them!! :bigeyes:

I got tired of dealing with rusty oversized holes. :bigthink:

The tunnel cover bolts are a odd size. They are #12-24 x 3/8".

Locally they are a tad hard to find. So.....I got upset with this whole fiasco, and I drilled & tapped mine for 1/4-20 x 1/2". Problem solved. A whole lot easier to find. Stainless Steel Hex or Phillips head suit me well.

I replaced every bolt, washer and lock washer with stainless, Unless you "know a guy" I wouldn't go that route but it sure does look good...

The little man on the tractor likes company, many little men and tractors

Good deal guys, and thank you!

Hmmm this explains why the 1/4-20 bolts I tried to put in didn't work, thanks for the good post!

So is that what you guys do with most of the bolts on these tractor's? Drill and tap as many of the ones you can to 1/4x20? That really does make a lot of sense. How much of the tractor can you convert over and are there many areas that still need strange sizes?

Ive been thinking of doing this exact thing when I tear down the 1200 to give it a freshen up
