Front Wheel Bolts-->BX23s

[Trimley]

Can anyone confirm the front wheel bolts on a BX23s to be 9/16×18?

 

[mikester]

try metric

No code has to be inserted here.
according the K-CDA website

-18 would be 'fine pitch', typical for wheel bolts

 

[Trimley]

I've ransacked the internet trying to find diameter and thread. I'm not finding the answer. I'm determined to NOT pay 150% mark-up=$9/bolt.

Another Kubota mystery.

I see pricing like that on Amazon occasionally, on other items as well.
Don't know why that happens, but obviously, not realistic!

I had to read the whole friggin ad 3-4 times to FINALLY see that price is for 10 bolts....itty,bitty fine print...
still MORE than going to Kubota though !!!
BTW local trailer place sells them for $1.50 a piece...

Thanks Fellas.

I finally found my thread file to confirm pitch. Thank-You Grandpa!

Thread pitch gauge saves the day!

I been using the thread file I got from Grandpa (machinist/passed away in 1998) since 94. It works a treat to clean-up threads. Also a stand-in (Duh) for checking thread pitch.

I'm a little dense at times.

I bought some longer press in studs with 9/16-18 thread. Cut the press in head off. Put red locktite on it and screwed it into the hub. I now have studs on the front wheels. I like them much better than bolts

A set of 10 lugbolts (to have spares on-hand) are in-route.

Planning on tearing up some lugbolts are ya?

Hope not. I had all the wheels off, when I added (now highly polished since the image seen here) center caps. I forgot to torque the right front, and lost a bolt in the grass. Now I have spares.

You should really consider sending your tires to Diamondback Tire (https://dbtires.com) to have white walls added to them.

Funny thing happened the other day. I was driving, slowing to turn into the entrance of my property, when I spied the missing lugbolt in the entrance.

It was unscathed

Hahahahha........Aint that always the way it goes.

I dropped a "special seal" installing a rack and pinion 3 weeks ago....Wife and I looked for it for 2 hours at least.

Had to go buy another one to finish the job.

As I was taking my shirt off at the end of the day, it dropped out of my shirt pocket.......

Now I have a spare....LOLOLOL

 

[DustyRusty]

A friend of mine was telling me about the same thing. A small spring fell off of something that he was working on and he found it in his pocket when he took his shirt off. I wear tee shirts without pockets, so the part can fall on the floor and get lost.

I drop/lose things and have the wife find it. While her vision is not as good as mine, she has better luck finding stuff fallen into pea gravel.

I'd be happy is even just one of the lug bolts was a stud to 'hang the wheel on'. Changing them out may be on the 'to-do' list. Might be a good product for @Kennyd4110 or Bota or BXExpanded or... to sell.
