Value Collection 206178MSC Plow Bolt 3/4-10 Unc Grade 8

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION 206178MSC is a Grade 8 alloy steel plow bolt designed for heavy-duty fastening applications where high tensile strength and a flush or countersunk head profile are required. With a 3/4-10 UNC thread size and a 3-inch overall length (OAL), this bolt meets SAE J429 standards, confirming its mechanical properties are tested and certified for demanding load-bearing use. The uncoated finish makes it suitable for applications where a secondary coating or plating will be applied on-site, or where bare steel is acceptable for the service environment. It is typically installed by equipment mechanics, construction crews, and maintenance technicians working on earthmoving, agricultural, and heavy equipment.

Plow bolts are commonly used in blade assemblies, cutting edges, wear plates, and other heavy equipment attachments where a flush head is necessary to prevent interference with material flow or surface contact. The 3/4-10 UNC thread designation indicates a coarse-thread fastener, which provides reliable engagement in structural and machinery applications. This bolt is sold individually but carries a minimum order quantity of 5 units, making it appropriate for both small repairs and larger maintenance stock orders.

Key Features

• Grade 8 alloy steel construction meets SAE J429 mechanical property standards for high-strength fastening
• 3/4-10 UNC coarse thread for broad compatibility with standard tapped holes and nuts in heavy equipment
• 3-inch overall length suits typical blade and wear-plate attachment depths
• Uncoated finish allows for field coating, plating, or use in applications where bare alloy steel is acceptable
• Flush plow bolt head profile eliminates protrusion in cutting edge and blade installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fastener for heavy equipment blade assemblies, cutting edges, and wear plates that use 3/4-10 UNC Grade 8 plow bolts.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified equipment mechanics or maintenance technicians. Always de-energize or lock out the equipment before servicing blade assemblies or wear plates. Use appropriate wrenches or impact tooling rated for Grade 8 fasteners, and always pair with a Grade 8 or equivalent nut and hardened washer where required. Do not substitute lower-grade fasteners in high-load or impact-prone applications.
