HeadExam 1,783 #1 Posted April 21, 2015 albanycountyfasteners.com has the sheet metal screws for Bolens tube frame tractors, the later models with the two lower side covers take 25 screws in total for the side panels, dash tower, fender pan, etc. Really hard to find real truss head screws any longer, I've been looking for these for a while. Stainless steel to boot and under 10.00 US with free shipping on eBay 2 Triumph66 and slf-uk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slf-uk 914 #4 Posted April 22, 2015 If you order direct from the web site rather than ebay and enter the discount code "ebay10" at checkout, it entitles you to 10% discount. Iain 2 HeadExam and Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HeadExam 1,783 #5 Posted April 22, 2015 Period fasteners are getting hard to acquire, many like plow bolts can be found at Fastenal here in the States, but they are getting scarce, as are domed carriage bolts and screws with attached grip/washer surfaces Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Andrew Thanks Andrew, but my I'm still first on the list for the old Bolens find, lol. I really hope that find surfaces, because it will be a treasure trove to you guys. It seems every time I open Yahoo news I'm hearing about one of you blokes over their finding some sort of treasure, or coin. Do you all own metal detectors or are they permanently attached to your arms, lol 1 Triumph66 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Triumph66 1,256 #8 Posted April 22, 2015 Alain, don't start that again! I see my softly sofly approach have not worked..... It is amazing what these metal detectors guys keep unearthing. A guy recently bought a detector and on his first outing discovered a treasure trove I think of Roman coins. Fortunately he was an honest guy and declared it. 1 HeadExam reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You mean you are considered dishonest if you don't declare what you find? What happened to "finders keepers, losers weepers". It would seem that if it was under ground you owned and not a a public resource such as oil, coal, or water, what was on your property should belong to you.

Triumph66 1,256 #10 Posted April 22, 2015 Roughly speaking,any treasure trove is, essentially, the property of the Crown, which is then shared with the landowner and the finder get some monetary value or if there is a stash of coins he may get get one as a keepsake. Usually the local museum houses the treasure find if it is considered 'not uncommon or unusual', but real rare items are housed in one of the London Museums. As I say, this is a very rough interpretation of the law. If there is someone who knows more about this, please enlighten me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As I say, this is a very rough interpretation of the law. If there is someone who knows more about this, please enlighten me. Laws that benefit the rich or enable the poor are not really laws they are benefits to those above the law and constraints on those beneath the law. We have those laws here as well. It is why I do not enter into any agreement with an employer, government, or state. In thirty years I have received a check from no man, I work only when I need too and only for goods and silver. Retirement package really sucks, but life is good, no mail from those that think they own me or my garden. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
