Description
When your rotary cutter or brush hog is bouncing around because the tail wheel’s coming loose, you need these bolts to get things secure again. The tail wheel carries a lot of the deck’s weight while following ground contours, and loose or missing bolts can leave you with expensive damage or an uneven cut. These 1/2 inch x 1 inch cap screws are exactly what you need to keep that tail wheel assembly tight and working right.
What You’re Getting
- Zinc-plated finish that resists rust and corrosion from field conditions
- Coarse thread design that bites into the hub material for a secure hold
- Full 1-inch thread length provides maximum engagement for lasting strength
- Sold in a set of four—just enough to complete the job on one tail wheel
Built for Real Farm Work
These bolts are made for the new-style tail wheel assemblies you’ll find on rotary cutters, brush hogs, and finish mowers. Whether you’re cutting pastures, clearing fence rows, or maintaining roadsides, your mower’s tail wheel takes a beating from rocks, stumps, and rough terrain. Having all four bolts properly tightened keeps the wheel tracking straight and prevents wobble that can tear up the assembly.
Made to Last
The zinc coating helps these bolts stand up to moisture, fertilizer, and the general abuse that comes with cutting in farm conditions. The coarse threads grab tight in cast iron or steel hubs, and the cap head design spreads the load evenly so you’re less likely to pull through or strip out threads.
Good to Know
Always replace all four bolts at once—if one has failed, the others are probably stressed and ready to go. Use a torque wrench if you have one, but hand-tight plus a quarter turn with a wrench usually does the trick. Check these bolts regularly during your pre-season maintenance since loose tail wheels can cause expensive deck damage.
