Description

There’s nothing quite like that sinking feeling when you notice a rear wheel wobbling on your Ford 165, 168, or Dexta. What starts as a slight vibration can quickly turn into a dangerous situation if those wheel nuts aren’t doing their job. These 5/8″ UNF wheel nuts keep your rear wheels securely fastened where they belong, preventing the kind of wheel separation that can destroy equipment and create dangerous situations during field operations.

What You’re Getting

5/8″ UNF fine threading designed specifically for narrow rear wheel applications
High-strength steel construction that handles the loads and vibration of farm work
Pack of 8 nuts provides complete set for both wheels with extras for your toolbox
Heat-treated for maximum durability under demanding field conditions
Direct replacement that fits original Ford specifications perfectly

Built for Real Farm Work

Your Ford Dexta or 165/168 might be older than you are, but it still handles loader work, pulls a bush hog, runs the tiller, and does a hundred other jobs around the farm. These tractors carry the majority of their weight plus any implement loads on those rear wheels, and they need to stay securely attached whether you’re pulling heavy equipment through tough soil, traveling on roads between farm locations, or working on slopes.

Made to Last

Wheel nuts perform one of the most important safety functions on your tractor – they literally prevent your wheels from falling off. These replacement nuts are manufactured from high-strength steel with proper heat treatment to handle the clamping loads and stress cycles that rear wheels experience during normal operation. The 5/8″ UNF (Unified National Fine) threads are precisely cut to match your hub threads – no sloppy fit that leads to movement and wear.

Installation Notes

Installation requires proper torque specifications to ensure secure wheel attachment without damaging threads or wheel components. Always use a calibrated torque wrench and follow Ford’s exact specifications – too loose allows dangerous wheel movement, too tight can stretch or break the nuts or studs. The pack of 8 gives you enough for both rear wheels (typically 4 per wheel) plus spares. Replace wheel nuts as a complete set rather than individually to ensure consistent clamping force and prevent uneven loading.
