Title about says it. I need a 7/16 x 20 square nut.

I can't recall ever seeing a square nut in a fine thread, only coarse.
Are you replacing existing?

Yep. On my 8N tractor there are two nut keepers with square fine
thread 7/16 nuts to bolt body to frame by the lower raditor. I guess I
*could* buy the whole frame piece. Not going to happen.

"Midas" added a couple more items to the 8N rebuild yesterday. While I
have it apart I Midas well put in electronic ignition. And if the
igintion is completely replaced I Midas well put a new carburator on
too.

We painted the castings two days ago and I'm on final assembly.

You do have a proper tap..right?

Got some square bar stock? Make your own. Make em bigger than normal so
they fit the washers better.

It takes 10 minutes for a handful of them in the lathe.
