Description: Dog Leg to Hood Bolts for Vintage Ford Tractors For Models 9N 2N & 8N Allen Socket Button Head - Grade 18-8 Stainless SteelDuring restoration of a Ford Tractor is a perfect time to replace the old tired hood bolts.Buy one of our stainless steel kits and save time and frustration of looking for proper bolts. Our Ford Tractor bolt kits are better in several ways: BETTER BOLTS: The OEM bolts were hex head, fine thread, 1/2” long, plated steel fasteners. Our bolts are Allen Socket Button Head, Coarse Thread, 3/4” long, Stainless Steel pieces. Hex head bolts tend to “roll over” the corners when tightened. Socket Button Heads do not. Fine threads are easy to cross thread, easily plug up with debris and can strip easily. Coarse threads solve all of these problems. 1/2” long bolts leave no room for error and nuts sometimes fall off. 3/4” long bolts allow room for longer lock nuts and multiple washers. Plated common steel will peel and then rust. Stainless steel will end rust concerns. BETTER NUTS: The OEM nuts were hex jam nuts used with split lock washers. This setup combined with normal tractor vibration often causes nuts to loosen up and sometimes fall off. Nylon Insert Lock Nuts did not become popular until after vintage Ford tractor production ended in 1952. Why not take advantage of these newer style nuts on your older tractor? Not only do Lock Nuts hold better than jam nut-lock washers ever did, but Lock Nuts never fall off even if they do loosen a little BETTER WASHERS: The OEM split lock washers had a very small outside diameter because they needed to fit under the jam nuts in order to do their job. Our lock nuts don't need any washer at all. However, we have included two washers per bolt to help “spread the load” over a wider surface of vintage sheet metal. BETTER STEEL: Brand new cadmium plated bolts may look great on day one, but it does not take long for their appearance to fade. That phase is followed by flaking and then rust. Why not use Stainless Steel Bolts in the beginning and avoid disappointment down the line. All pieces in our Vintage Ford Tractor kits are made of grade 18-8 Stainless Steel. Put some sparkle in your old “N” Ford Tractor with one of our kits. This is a very easy upgrade.
