Ford 600 hood hardware

[TomIn]

The radiator in my Ford 640 appears to be leaking. I need to remove the hood to better access the radiator for inspection, repair, or replacement. It has been years since I had the hood off to replace the gas tank. As I recall, all the bolts, nuts, washers, etc holding the hood were due for replacement. Does anyone happen to know the sizes of the bolt (screws) that I will need to remove the hood, grill, radiator, radiator shroud, etc. The tractor is about 100 miles away with no decent hardware store anywhere close, so I would like to purchase what I need before I go. I know that I will need to purchase the various pads, bumpers, and such from this site.

Dimensions for some (but probably not all) of the hood fasteners are listed in the Parts Catalog linked below.

Thanks for the link. I wish it was more clear (to a geezer like me) showing me the specific bolt locations.

I found an earlier post which included copies of the original Ford parts catalog that was easier for me to see. Unfortunately, I can't figure out a way to cross reference the part numbers shown in the parts catalog diagrams to fastener specifications.

Here's a diagram/parts list that's a bit easier to use. Fasteners are mostly "Procure Locally"

I found a short Dennis Carpenter video on how to change a radiator on a 1953 to 1964 Ford tractor. It gives a brief view of all the bolts/screws that need to be removed. I can't seem to see these bolts on the parts diagrams furnished by wore out and Andy Wickiser. What am I missing?

I think the parts diagram is incomplete. My printed Parts List 1953/64 has the same diagram. I'm afraid if you found an earlier one the hardware would go by part number not dimensions. I checked my tractor and found I was missing some of the nuts and bolts you are looking for. Maybe someone else can provide further info.
