Value Collection 205098MSC Plow Bolt 5/8-11 Unc Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 205098MSC is a Grade 8 alloy steel plow bolt with a 5/8-11 UNC thread and an overall length of 1.5 inches. Plow bolts feature a flat, countersunk head that sits flush with or below the mating surface, preventing snag points and wear on equipment contact areas. This uncoated fastener meets SAE J429 standards for Grade 8 mechanical properties, making it appropriate for high-strength bolted joints in heavy-duty equipment. Machinists, equipment fabricators, and maintenance mechanics working on agricultural, construction, or earthmoving machinery install these fasteners where a recessed head profile is required.

Plow bolts in this thread size and length are commonly used on cutting edges, wear plates, blades, and moldboards on tractors, graders, scrapers, and similar equipment. The 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread provides reliable engagement in cast iron, steel, and fabricated plate applications. This uncoated finish is suited for applications where the installer will apply their own coating or where contact with abrasive material makes pre-applied coatings impractical.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction meets SAE J429 high-strength fastener requirements
• 5/8-11 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts
• 1.5-inch overall length suits thin wear-plate and blade attachment applications
• Flat countersunk head profile sits flush to minimize snag and material buildup
• Uncoated finish allows field application of coatings or use in abrasive contact zones

Compatibility

Designed as a standard-dimension plow bolt for use in agricultural and construction equipment applications requiring a 5/8-11 UNC Grade 8 fastener with a 1.5-inch overall length. Consult OEM documentation to confirm head style and recess dimensions before installation.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by equipment mechanics or fabricators using standard hand or impact tools sized for the hex nut mating this bolt. Torque to the fastener manufacturer or equipment OEM specification for Grade 8 hardware at this thread size. Inspect mating surfaces to ensure the countersunk recess is clean and free of debris before seating the bolt head flush. Follow applicable equipment service guidelines and lockout/tagout procedures before beginning any fastener replacement on powered machinery.
