I have a B8200 Tractor with a BF 300 FEL. There is a Wedge bolt that holds this on the Tractor. The threads on this bolt are messed up so I need to chase the treads. I know that it's a 16mm bolt. But don't know the pitch. Can anyone tell me what it is?

Standard is 2.00, Fine is 1.50. If the threads are messed up you may wish to consider a harder bolt.

I'm not going to be able to help you, but if you posted a photo of said bolt, it's not showing.

The wedge bolts are still available but expensive at $80.

Part Number is 70761-56190

How did you determine the shank size was 16 mm?

Many of these Kubota accessories were made in North America using SAE fastener standards.

If your tap and die set does not already have a thread pitch gauge, $13 buys a comprehensive one on amazon.

Even with damaged threads you should be able to verify which of the two Roadworthy suggests is the one.

Thanks, I found someone that could measure the pitch. It was 1.50 I ran a tap through the nuts and a die on the Wedge. They are good now.
