Built for Real Farm Work

This bolt size is the workhorse of agricultural equipment assembly. You’ll find 1/2-inch bolts holding together everything from tillage tools to hay equipment, loader attachments to shop-built implements. The 1-3/4-inch length works great for most bracket mounting and component assembly where you need solid clamping force without excessive length getting in the way.

Made to Last

Grade 5 bolts hit the sweet spot between strength and cost—they’re much stronger than basic Grade 2 bolts but cost less than premium Grade 8. The zinc coating helps them stand up to the weather and chemicals they’ll encounter in farm environments, so they won’t rust out on you after a season or two of use.

Installation Notes

Always use flat washers under both the head and nut to distribute the load properly and prevent damage to your equipment. If you’re replacing rusted bolts, clean out the threaded holes with a tap if needed. A little anti-seize compound on the threads makes future removal much easier, especially if the connection might see heat or road salt.
