Go to a good hardware and buy every size bolt that even remotely looks like it will fit. Carefully try each one. Check other bolts on the machine. It is very likely that another bolt on the machine is the same size. Find another bolt from the machine that will fit, take it to a good hardware supply or an IH dealer, and have them match it up. Desperate situations demand desperate measures. Might be worth trying, thank you for the ideas. If the rest of the machine is metric, it's not likely that this hole is SAE, and vice versa. 1. The rest of the machine is mixed... I have encountered 1/2"x13 UNC, M8x1.0, M27x1.5 2. That knuckle is second source. 3. The bolts from the worn out knuckle have 13tpi, about 11.7mm outer diameter. But their threads don't look so good. I think I'd have used them had they fitted properly, but I'll try them again. Easy. REAL easy. And I'll take them to the dealer. -- "I'm a doctor, not a mechanic." Dr Leonard McCoy "I'm a mechanic, not a doctor." Volker Borchert |

Yeah, shotgun it. What a simply Perfect idea! If the rest of the machine is metric, it's not likely that this hole is SAE, and vice versa. My friend's daughter's Chevy V-8 intake manifold was a 2-piece deal, plastic (FRP) and aluminum. One piece was SAE, the other all metric. I think it was a 2008 model Tahoe.
