Description
When you’re putting together equipment that needs to stay tight under pressure, you don’t want to mess around with weak hardware. This Grade 8 hex bolt gives you the strength to handle serious connections on everything from implement brackets to loader attachments. The zinc coating keeps it from rusting out on you, so it’ll do its job season after season.
What You’re Getting
- Grade 8 hardened steel—the toughest bolt grade you can buy for farm equipment
- Zinc finish protects against rust and corrosion in all weather conditions
- UNC (coarse) threads bite deep and hold tight under vibration
- 3-inch length works great when you’re bolting through thick brackets or multiple pieces
- Standard 3/8-inch diameter fits common agricultural equipment connections
Built for Real Farm Work
This bolt size is perfect for medium-duty connections on tractors, implements, and shop-built equipment. You’ll find 3/8-inch bolts holding together everything from cultivator shanks to toolbar mounting brackets and hydraulic cylinder pins. The 3-inch length gives you enough reach for through-bolting thick steel while leaving room for washers and nuts.
Made to Last
Grade 8 steel means this bolt is heat-treated for maximum strength—about 50% stronger than Grade 5 and twice as strong as hardware store bolts. The zinc plating helps it stand up to moisture, fertilizer, and road salt, so you won’t be drilling out rusted bolts next season.
Installation Notes
Always use a flat washer under the head and nut to distribute the load properly. If you’re replacing rusted bolts, clean out the threads with a tap first. A dab of anti-seize compound on the threads makes future removal much easier, especially if the connection might see heat or chemicals.
