H rear wheel bolts

Doug Flory · Apr 15, 2011

Anybody know where I can get rear wheel bolts that use the clips to attach rim to wheel? They are 5/8" x 4", 11 thread but unlike hardware store bolts the threads are further down the shaft of the bolt allowing for the inner tightening nut. Appreciate your help?

I got mine from my local Case-IH dealer. Any farm machinery store should have them.

Actually Case-IH lists them as 5/8" x 4 1/4" bolts, they charge $13 each, for both rims that would be over $150 just for bolts. The thin nuts that go by the inner clamp? Case-IH wants $10 for each thin nut, so that is another $120. The outer nut you can probably get at a hardware store for less than $1, so after taxes you can probably get all set for less than $300.

Better solution:
Farmallhal pointed me in the right direction:
I just orded bolts from Norman Jackson in Greenfield, Indiana. Norm sells a 5/8" x 4 1/2" square head bolt for $3.50 each, and the thin nuts for $1 each and is charging me about $5 in shipping. I've ordered them, but haven't received them yet, I think my bill should be $65, I ordered the outer nut too.

Hope this helps.

I could mention, some guys have gotten bolts from the hardware store and used die to cut the threads farther down the bolt.

How do you spell deja vu? Anyhow...go read Yoopers thread from a few days ago.

Fastenal has full thread bolts.

I guess it's been a few years since I bought the bolts, but not that many years ago, and I doubt if I paid more than a couple bucks each, including the nuts. The difference might be that I bought the 5/8"x 4 1/2" grade 5 hex head bolts. I did not want the square heads, even if I COULD have found them. I HAVE cut more threads on a 5/8" bolt so the nut would run down further, and it did work, but there was a noticeable step in the diameter where the factory threads ended and my newly cut threads started.

I received these 12 bolts, 12 thin nuts and 12 regular nuts in the mail Friday. Bill with shipping came to $57, much better than $300 from Case-IH

It looks like he used a 4 1/2 inch square head bolt with about an inch of thread and used a die and cut more threads. Looks like the die was a little dull because the threads on the first inch look fine, the threads the rest of the way look very rough, I ran a nut down it, didn"t go very smoothly by hand. I"m going to buy another die and try to clean them up a bit, although I"m sure they would work just fine, and for a $250 savings I can handle some rough threads.

Yooper, the frshly cut threads are rougher because the diameter of the bolt changes right where the factory cut threads end. A new die might make a difference, but the finished product will still not be the same. I have done that same trick when in a pinch, and usually I can make it work, but it is never the same as a factory made bolt.
