Lug Bolts?
-
Anyone know where I can order or buy some lug bolts for my '39 Hudson 112? :confused:
Most places don't even know what a Hudson is, so a part number or similar reference might help... -
The '39 should use the same lug bolt as the '46. Take one of the lug bolts from the '46 into the parts store and they will be able to match it up!Jerry

I do not know about any cross refence numbers. However, if you know the length and thread pitch, would it be possible to machine some out of Hex stock?

Of course it would be a possibility. But not very cost-effective when these lugs can still be bought and are readily available. If not at the parts store, then a bolt specialty outfit would be a shoe-in.

When you find some, stay away from the stainless. -
If you pay for shipping, I'll send you as many as you need.
-
Check the Tractor parts places, and/or the Trailer sales places.
The thread size is 1/2 - 20 x 7/8 long, and the hex is 3/4 across the flats. -
My thanks to everyone for their input, and to Glen for his offer (which I have taken him up on).
I will also be taking a '46 lugbolt along with the specs (Thanks 'Uncle Josh'!) to various local parts places, farm stores & trailer places in my 'travels'... -

If they're the same as the stepdown bolts, I bought mine at NAPA. I think you can get 'em with the proper thread pitch & length in two different hex head sizes.Workin Stiff -

Thank you! Based on that, I went out to www.napaonline.com, and looked through all 835 items that are in their inventory of "lugbolts" (for some reason, lugnuts showed up too, as "lugbolt nuts").NAPA Balkamp # 641-1008
Besides the one above, there are a couple of others that look like they will work:
#641-1554 (1/2-20 1" long, right threads)
#641-1583 (1/2-20 3/4 long, right threads)
These are not available online, you have to go into the individual stores and buy or special order them.
I'll have to wait until a weekend to check - These NAPA places have bankers hours, with most closing at 5:00 - 5:30 PM.
Don't believe what's on their website as far as business hours, call first. I get out of work at 5:00, and went to one that said it closed at 6:00 - lights out when I got there, and the hours on their door indicate they close at 5:00 PM. Watch the weekends as well - most close between Noon and 3:00 PM on Saturday, and aren't even open on Sunday. -
Easy now, I happen to own one of them there NAPA stores! I gave you that # because it happens to be the one we stock. A lot of farm eq. and trailers use those nuts.

Nothing against NAPA, they just about always have what I need. I even order from them online...
However, I didn't go fully into all details of my experiences so far this week. I've visited four locations in my area thus far this week (Millersville, Laurel, Glen Burnie, and Elkridge - 70+ miles on my car), trying to find something else (not lugbolts). Only one store had the same hours as those posted on the NAPA website for their location(s). I even got to one store before it 'officially' closed - just as the door was being locked, 10 minutes earlier than their posted hours (which were different than those on the website) because the "computer is down". Guess the clerk needed an excuse to close up shop a bit early.
No chip on my shoulder - Just relaying what I've experienced. I'll try to get my stuff on the weekend... -

You're right... There is one in the Leesburg, VA area that has great hours, and is very well stocked... Problem is, I don't get out that way unless I am visiting my daughter... (Which just happens to be tomorrow!)Must depend on what part of the country you live in, Rick. The Twin Cities metro NAPA warehouse here in St. Louis Park is open M-F from 7A-midnight, and is even open Sundays from 10-5. :rolleyes: -
Question - what exactly is a "Lug" bolt? I always considered that a "Belt on the lug" meant someone has clipped your ear!If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

What do you folks call the bolts that hold the tires on your car? -
Another strange Americanism I guess - like "Dimmer switch" Lights havent actually had "dimmers" since the mid twenties, but high and low beams! Yes, as In Oz and Pomland we call them wheel bolts, which of course is exactlywhat they are.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

Actually, thinking about it, " Lug bolts" is also a hangover from the twenties, when most cars had split rims held on by clamps, or lugs, so I daresay that is where the term came from.If you're stuck in a hole, stop digging.

Yup - not sure where the lug in lugnut or lugbolt came from... And we haven't even even broached what a 'lug wrench' is used for!
