Description
When your old Ford tractor starts feeling loose in the front end or the steering doesn’t track quite right, it’s often this critical bolt that’s worn out or missing. This radius rod bolt connects the front axle to the chassis and keeps everything aligned when you’re turning or hitting bumps in the field. Without a solid connection here, you’ll feel every rut and pothole through the steering wheel.
What You’re Getting
- Proper 5/8″-18 thread pitch that matches original Ford specifications
- 5-1/2″ length gives you the exact reach needed for the radius rod connection
- 7/8″ head diameter provides plenty of wrench surface for tightening
- Grade 8 strength handles the stress of loader work and rough terrain
Built for Real Farm Work
This bolt fits all the classic Ford N-series tractors from 1939-1964, including the popular 9N, 2N, 8N models plus the later NAA (Golden Jubilee) and early numbered series like the 600, 700, 800, and 900. Whether you’re bush-hogging pastures, running a front-end loader, or pulling implements, this is the same bolt Ford used from the factory.
Made to Last
Farm tractors put serious stress on front axle components, especially when you’re turning tight or working on uneven ground. This bolt is built from high-tensile steel that won’t stretch or snap under load. The coarse 18-thread pitch gives you plenty of holding power while making installation straightforward.
Good to Know
Before installing, check that the radius rod bushings aren’t worn out—no sense putting a new bolt in worn bushings. A little anti-seize compound on the threads helps prevent corrosion and makes future removal easier. Keep the torque reasonable; these old Ford frames don’t like being over-stressed.
