I have a L3201 Kubota with the LA525 loader attachment. It has a bucket, which I ordered what I call "brush teeth" for dragging out brush, blackberry vine, fallen twigs from trees, small bushes, etc. I have lost an Acorn nut and a setscrew that holds the teeth onto the bucket. I have located a 1/2-13 acorn nut that acts as a jam nut and a cap to keep the threads and socket of the set screw clean. But, I cannot find a 1/2-13 x 1.75" setscrew. Does anyone have any idea where I can find one? I have checked Lowe's, Home Depot, local hardware store, Grainger's, Tacoma Screw, Amazon, but cannot find where any might be sold.
Any ideas or anyone out there found any? I wonder if a 1.5" set screw would work? I think the cap or acorn nut would still seat ok. Main purpose is to keep the treads and socket head clean, right?

Trying to picture what you are doing. Any reason you don't simply use a 1/2" bolt of a length that will work? It sounds like you're using two pieces to essentially make one anyway.

Are you thinking about a Ratchet Rake, or Piranha tooth bar ??

Each will do most things most people need done and a few things individual to each product...
