Are there any other antique tractors of the 430’s size that used that lug bolt?  My Pacer, JD hay wagon, Ford, and lots more that have come and gone all used 5/8 bolts. I’m sort of surprised.  In fact, I remember one tractor(can’t remember which one now) that used a 7/8 bolt and I had to run to a friend to borrow a tap and die.
