Around here, Tractor Supply has pretty good fasteners, including grade 8
if your function calls for that. Farmers don't like to do the same
repair job twice, I guess.

Of course not. It's like any other business: having machinery down costs
money. At harvest time, a down machine can cost _a lot_ of money.

And there are liability issue concernes. A good mechanic will use grade 8
or better so that when he is preplacing a bolt it is at least as strong as
the original. I was stocking grade 8, 30 years ago for automotive repairs
at an Olds dealership.
