Wheel bolts for a Balmar Loader Backhoe

[Rick Terrell]

I have an early 60's Balmar loader backhoe. It is a real workhorse around my place and so far quite repairable. My problem is trying to find wheel bolts. They are 7/8" hex head with a beveled shoulder. the thread is 5/8 x 18 TPI with 1 3/8" of thread and an overall length of 2 ". Does anyone know of a supplier for this kind of bolt?

You can pick up some that are pretty close at a reasonable price at your nearest DEERE dealer.
