Description
When you’re running a mower conditioner through heavy hay or tough conditions, the last thing you want is a critical bolt failure shutting you down in the field. This Grade 8 hex bolt holds together the head assembly on your New Holland 479 or 490 mower conditioner – one of the most stress-bearing connections on these reliable workhorses. A quality bolt here means the difference between finishing your cutting on schedule and dealing with expensive downtime during peak season.
What You’re Getting
- Grade 8 strength rating handles the high stress and vibration of mower conditioner operation
- 1/2-20 thread with 4-inch length provides secure engagement in the head assembly
- Hex head design allows for proper torque application with standard tools
- Direct replacement that matches original equipment specifications
Built for Real Farm Work
These bolts are engineered for the demanding conditions that New Holland 479 and 490 mower conditioners face daily. Whether you’re cutting first cutting alfalfa, thick grass hay, or working through variable terrain, the head assembly takes constant stress from the cutting and conditioning components. This bolt maintains the structural integrity that keeps everything working smoothly.
Made to Last
Grade 8 steel construction provides superior tensile strength compared to standard bolts, handling the shock loads and continuous vibration that comes with mower conditioner operation. The hex head design distributes torque evenly and resists rounding, so you can properly tighten and remove the bolt when maintenance time comes.
Good to Know
Always torque to manufacturer specifications and check bolt tension periodically during heavy use seasons. If you’re replacing one bolt in the head assembly, it’s smart to inspect the others while you’ve got things apart – they typically wear at similar rates. Keep a couple spares on hand since these machines often work far from the shop when something needs attention.
