#3 OVERSIZED FLAT HEAD PLOW BOLTS GRADE 5


The “Oversized Head design provides increased engagement of the head into the Plow Blade. The increased engagement distributes the forces, which are encountered in use, over a larger area to prevent damage to the blade and the engagement hole. The larger head diameter provides a greater wear area for increased life.

The “Oversized Head Plow Bolts come threaded to the head to fit a variety of grip ranges. *Note that the Oversized Head style is not the same as the “Repair style listed in ANSI B18.9.
