Description

When that familiar shear bolt pops on your baler, you know the system did exactly what it was supposed to—protect your expensive flywheel and PTO from serious damage. These shear bolts are specifically designed for flywheel protection and they’re a lot cheaper to replace than a cracked flywheel or bent PTO shaft. This 10-pack keeps you ready for the next time rocks, wire, or a missed pickup sends stress through your baler’s drive system.

What You’re Getting

1/4″-20 x 2-1/4″ hex head bolts with matching 1/4″-20 steel hex locknuts, all zinc plated to resist corrosion in tough field conditions
Proper shear strength that breaks before expensive drivetrain components get damaged
Complete 10-pack includes both bolts and nuts—no hunting for matching hardware when you’re in the middle of haying
Zinc plating keeps them from rusting in your toolbox until you need them

Built for Real Farm Work

This kit works on John Deere balers including models 10, 14T (serial number 32868 and up), 24, 214 (also power take off), 216, 224, and 323W. Whether you’re running a small square baler on weekend hay or pushing a big round baler through heavy windrows, these are the same bolts that came on your machine from the factory.

Made to Last

The zinc plating isn’t just for looks—it keeps these bolts from corroding while they sit in your parts bin waiting for the inevitable. They’re engineered to shear at the right load every time, giving you consistent protection without being so weak they break from normal operating stress. The hex locknuts stay tight once you torque them down properly.

Good to Know

Keep a few extras in your toolbox because these tend to break at the worst possible times. When replacing, make sure you’re using the right torque spec—too tight and they won’t shear when they should, too loose and they might work their way out. Always replace both the bolt and nut together for reliable protection.
