Finally getting closer to actually mounting the old Henderson loader I got this spring on my CA. Hoses have been replaced, cylinders rebuilt and just waiting for the call saying fluid is back in my rear tires. What grade bolts should I be using to mount the loader frame to the tractor? Thanks!

Grade 5 or 8 would work well. ------------- Thanks & God Bless Dennis |

grade 5 should be overkill for the loader.... That's a good idea.. much better than the grade 2 basic stuff. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

You'll never go wrong with grade 8 bolts with something like that,plus they don't rust nearly as bad as lower grades.I rarely buy anything but grade 8.

| I use the 8's, then you know they are good for anything you could throw at a 2 or 5 grade on a loader mount. |

grade 5 will take shock loads better than grade 8. Grade 8 will snap not bend. Usually hear use grade 5 for shock loads and grade 8 for constant loads. ------------- Farmin' with 1981 7010 PD, Great Grandpas 1947 Farmall H, JD 7000 planter, JD model B drill, NH 316 Baler, NH 1411 Discbine ,JD 100 8 Shank Chisel.

I agree, 8 are too brittle for that application. Go with 5. Fortunatly I had the original bolts for mine, when I mounted it. ------------- D14, D17, 5020, 612H, CASE 446 |

I've owned and seen a lot of loaders have never seen a grade 8 bolt snap off if 5 was stronger then there'd be no need for grade 8.And if sudden impact broke grade 8 so easily they'd be used for shear pins(LOL)

Grade 8 bolts are normally for Head Bolts and Rod bolt type applications. Nothing wrong with using them for the loader, but WAY overkill..... its your money. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |
