Plow Bolts commonly used to hold cutting edges on graders, dozers, scrapers and loaders among a plethora of other things... Probably worth more to sell to a contractor.

@thadofalltrades 5 ай бұрын

think they are defective or just dead inventory?

@christophertaylor2464 5 ай бұрын

Got to be a reason they are in the trash.

@Ma_Deuce_338 5 ай бұрын

@@christophertaylor2464 Probably part of an auction lot that was superfluous to the item purchased. Packaging looked like it contained a preservation agent. A very common bolt in the mining and excavation profession. Although these were fairly large bolts. In the mine shops we had bins of them on hand. Like the harmonic balances… that was like an auction lot or inventory reduction.

@@thadofalltrades Dead of unwanted perhaps. They are a one use item usually. You use new bolts on a new edge. You would also use a lock washer and bolt. Surprised me to see them. We used probably a hundred every couple weeks on new ground engagement edges
