Value Collection 205196MSC Plow Bolt 5/8-11 Unc Grade 5 Steel

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 205196MSC is a Grade 5 steel plow bolt with a 5/8-11 UNC thread size and an overall length (OAL) of 3-1/2 inches. Plow bolts are designed with a flat, countersunk head that sits flush with or below the surface of the material being fastened, preventing interference with moving materials and reducing wear on equipment surfaces. This uncoated fastener meets ASME/ANSI B18.9 and SAE J429 standards, confirming dimensional accuracy and minimum tensile strength appropriate for Grade 5 hardware. It is suited for heavy-duty mechanical assemblies where a flush-mount fastener is required.

This plow bolt is used in agricultural equipment, construction machinery, conveyor systems, and other heavy equipment applications where exposed bolt heads would cause surface damage or operational interference. The flush-seating head design is standard for moldboards, cutting edges, and wear plates on equipment such as graders, dozers, and plows. Maintenance technicians, equipment mechanics, and contractors working on ground-engaging or material-handling equipment are the primary installers of this fastener type.

Key Features

• 5/8-11 UNC thread size for compatibility with standard coarse-thread nuts and tapped holes
• 3-1/2 inches overall length suits medium-depth fastening applications
• Grade 5 steel construction provides minimum 120,000 psi tensile strength per SAE J429
• Flat countersunk head sits flush to prevent interference with moving surfaces
• Meets ASME/ANSI B18.9 dimensional standards for plow bolts
• Uncoated finish — suitable for applications where coating is not required or where field coating will be applied

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement plow bolt for heavy equipment assemblies requiring a 5/8-11 UNC coarse-thread fastener with a flush countersunk head per ASME/ANSI B18.9 specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by equipment mechanics or maintenance technicians servicing ground-engaging attachments or wear-plate assemblies. De-energize or shut down all equipment and relieve any hydraulic or mechanical load before removing worn fasteners. Use a properly sized wrench or impact tool rated for Grade 5 torque requirements, and always pair with a compatible Grade 5 or higher nut. Inspect mating surfaces for wear or elongation before installing replacement bolts.
