What a day trying to move the wheels in on my oliver 77. The bolts were all rusty and seized into the hub. But when I removed the nuts they stripped. They are very corroded and I won't want to use them anyway. I have searched the net and can't find any to match my size. I probably have to have them custom made at a truck shop that bends u bolts. Have any other ideas??? The thread size is 3/4NF and the inside width is 2 1/2 wide and I can't remember how long.

Aren't they fun to move BTDT and have since found ways to do it and not work my butt off. Any how have you tried Korves #618-939-6681. He has lots of Oliver parts and if he doesn't have them he may know where to find them

I had the same kind of fun on my 1600 when I narrowed it up. I let them soak over night, then soaked them again and went back to them a while later. I used heat, air hammer, and a BFH to get them off. Only ended up wrecking one.
I got the new one right from the dealer. Wasn't cheap, but for one it wasn't worth finding a truck shop that makes them. I replaced all the nuts with new (Fastenal), slothered anti-seeze on everything and tightened them back down where I wanted the hubs. The other 5 u-bolts were just fine. A little rusty, but not bad.

To be honest I can't remember how much. I'm sure I could find it if I dug through all the papers I have from rebuilding the tractor, but it'd take a while. I do remember I was kinda surprised by the price, but for one I was willing to cough it up.
