Where to find Farmall H Deck bolts

Tom Fleming · Aug 20, 2009

Getting ready to take the deck off my 1941 H, and all of the deck bolts heads are shot. I would like to replace them with originals, or at least repros with the "dot".

Anybody know where I can find some?

Pilot Knob Restorations has quite a few dot heads for sale. Not sure if they have the H deck bolts. The cheapest way is to make them yourself if you have access to an engine lathe. I made all of my own for my SH restoration. It"s a simple matter of taking a .010" or so cut off the tops and leaving the dot raised in the center. Pilot Knob doesn"t have a web site and I can"t seem to find my catalog for their phone number but someone can chime in with it. If you get desperate let me know and I"ll make em for you if you send me the screws.

I can go to the salvage yard near me if you need some. I go past like once a week.
I am going to install mine tomorrow if I can remember where they go

IIRC big ones in back and smaller as you go forward...but why is one shorter than the rest...I should take better notes!

I have a Pilot Knob book in front of me now. His phone number is (815) 777-0794 call M-Sat from 8am-5pm. He is over in Galena, IL. As an example 7/16x1 1/4-3 1/4 are $0.98 a piece.

The shorter bolts go on the clutch pedal side of the front. Those about 1/4" longer go on the brake pedal side to allow for the brake pedal stop plate.

Thanks for all the responses. I will start with Pilot, and go from there.

I really appreciate the responses.

Thanks, sorry for not paying attention. I thought they were all the same :S

I bought some of his bolts. Yes, they are dot heads, but they do not look like the originals -- edges of the dot are sharp, original ones are smooth. Of course I did not pay any attention to the original ones until they were 50+ years old, perhaps the smooth is normal degredation, I don't know.
