Description
Nothing's more frustrating than having nuts work loose when you're trying to get work done. Whether it's on your cultivator, bush hog, or any piece of equipment that sees constant vibration, a regular nut just won't stay put. That's where this nylon lock nut comes in handy—it's got a built-in nylon insert that grips the threads and keeps things tight, even when your equipment is bouncing through rough fields.
What You're Getting
- Nylon insert creates friction to prevent loosening from vibration and movement
- Grade 2 strength handles the loads you'll see on most farm equipment
- Zinc plating protects against rust and corrosion in outdoor conditions
- 7/16 inch UNC thread fits standard bolts you'll find on most implements
- Self-locking design means no need for lock washers or thread locker
Built for Real Farm Work
This size nut shows up all over farm equipment—from cultivator shanks and disk harrows to mower decks and loader attachments. It's the right choice when you need something that'll stay put through the vibration of field work, but still be removable when maintenance time comes around. You'll find these threads on implements from most major manufacturers.
Made to Last
The zinc coating keeps rust at bay even when you're working in wet conditions or storing equipment outside. Grade 2 steel gives you the strength for typical agricultural applications without being overkill for everyday fastening jobs. The nylon insert stays effective through multiple uses as long as you don't overtighten.
Good to Know
These nuts will feel snug when you're threading them on—that's the nylon doing its job. Hand-start them first, then use your wrench for the final tightening. Don't overtighten or you'll damage the nylon and lose the locking feature. When it's time to remove them, they'll come off with normal effort but won't spin off by themselves.
