Description
When you’re rolling down a county road and hear that telltale rattle from a loose wheel, you know it’s time to get serious about wheel nuts. A properly torqued wheel nut is all that stands between your tractor wheel staying put and rolling into the neighbor’s corn field. This 5/8″-18 hex head wheel nut with 90-degree taper provides the secure, reliable connection your Ford tractor needs to keep working safely.
What You’re Getting
- Precision 5/8″-18 thread pitch for exact fit on Ford tractor wheel studs
- 90-degree taper matches wheel stud angle for proper seating and load distribution
- 1-1/16 inch hex head size fits standard wrench sets and impact sockets

Built for Real Farm Work
This wheel nut is compatible with many Ford New Holland tractors and other models that require 5/8″-18 wheel nuts. Whether you’re pulling a disc through spring ground, hauling grain to the elevator, or working on hillsides where wheel security is critical, wheel nuts perform one of the most important safety functions on your tractor – they literally prevent your wheels from falling off.
Made to Last
These replacement nuts are manufactured from high-strength steel with proper heat treatment to handle the clamping loads and stress cycles that wheels experience during normal operation. The precision threading ensures consistent torque values and prevents the stripping that can happen with inferior nuts. Quality materials resist corrosion and maintain thread integrity throughout the service life.
Installation Notes
Use correct torque specifications for wheel nuts to prevent over-tightening or under-tightening. Use a calibrated torque wrench and follow your tractor’s exact specifications for wheel nut torque – too loose allows dangerous wheel movement, too tight can stretch or break the studs or nuts. Always check wheel nuts after the first few hours of operation, as they can settle and need retorquing.
