My Son-in-law's HD5G had a couple of track pad bolts come loose so he bought a few used ones from General Gear in Boise. So far so good, but they didn't have very many available, and they said that normally they just torch them off and don't attempt to salvage track bolts.

I have an HD5 Parts Manual, and it lists the track pad bolts as 1/2" NF. Yes, the threads are indeed 1/2" NF, but the shank of the bolts measure right at 0.530", or roughly 17/32".

The original bolts fit quite snugly in the holes, and a standard 1/2" bolt rattles around fairly loose.

Does anyone know of a source for new, correct bolts for these machines?

Last I knew they had a shop in Wisconsin, one in near NYC and in a few other states.
