Default TSC Washers
I like to buy nuts and bolts by the pound at TSC sometimes. The thing that I can't understand though is why they don't have "real" 1/4" flat washers. What they sell as 1/4" flat washers are really 5/16" which is pretty sloppy on a 1/4" bolt. Also, their 5/16" flat washers are really 3/8".
I wrote to TSC last night about this, and it will be interesting to see their reply IF they reply.

It's that way a lot of places. I always try a washer first.

Pretty much every brand of fastener washers are like that. Your wasting your time writing TSC, they don't make them anyway.

Lawson Products are pretty good. I don't think their washers are this way, but it's been a while since I bought any from them.

Go to your local Fastenal Store and buy some. They may or may not fit better, but you will decide that since they charge 2X as much for the same thing, you can live with what TSC sells.

FWIW, you can just use the next size down washer for your fasteners.... no one will ever know.

Just a quick glance in the Machinery's handbook and I found 5 different listings for 1/4" plain (flat) washers.

Yes, yes, yes I realize all of that. I'm speaking specifically about TSC and their Hillman Group hardware.

If you want washers that fit an SAE bolt check out metric washers. The OD is a little bit smaller but they are a nice fit on the bolt.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
