Carriage Bolt, 5/16-18 X .62" Lg. 710-0260A

This genuine OEM carriage bolt is used to secure various parts in lawn and garden outdoor equipment. The bolt has a round head with a square area underneath it that prevents the bolt from turning and coming loose when it is installed. The bolt shaft has a diameter of 5/16 inches, with 18 threads per inch and the threaded portion of the bolt is 0.62 inches long. If the bolt is corroded, the threads are worn down, or the head is damaged or deformed, you will need to replace the bolt to keep your equipment parts secured and functioning efficiently. To replace the bolt, first remove the nut using a wrench or socket. Once the nut is removed, you can unthread the bolt. Insert the new bolt in position, thread the nut on and use a wrench to tighten it. Be careful not to overtighten the bolt to avoid damaging it or stripping the threads.
