No joy at fastenall or mcmaster. 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. So, either drill/tap a plate, then hacksaw to size and file to square, or braze a square washer to a hex nut. Either is faster than ordering a part from anyone's stock. |

Just run a tap through a coarse thread square nut. John |
