Description

If you’ve noticed your front grille starting to rattle or come loose, it’s likely that one of these little thumb screws has worked its way free. These handy fasteners hold your front grille sections in place without needing tools – just thumb and finger pressure to tighten them down. When they get loose or go missing, your grille can vibrate against the tractor body, creating noise and potentially damaging the mounting points.

What You’re Getting

5/16″-18 threaded thumb screw with comfortable grip knob
Tool-free installation and removal for easy grille access
Corrosion-resistant finish that handles weather and field conditions
Direct replacement for original equipment on Ford 5200 and 7200 tractors

Built for Real Farm Work

This thumb screw fits Ford 5200 and 7200 series tractors from the mid-1960s through 1975. These were solid utility tractors that handled everything from hay operations to tillage work, and their front grilles took a beating from flying debris, dust, and the occasional brush with fence posts or tree branches.

Made to Last

Farm equipment fasteners need to stay put through vibration, temperature swings, and daily abuse. This thumb screw is built with durable materials that resist corrosion and wear, so it’ll keep doing its job season after season without seizing up or stripping out.

Good to Know

These thumb screws make grille removal much easier when you need access for radiator cleaning or repairs. Hand-tight is tight enough – over-tightening can damage the grille or mounting points. If your old screw is stuck, a little penetrating oil will help free it up.
