Left Hand Thread Disc Blade Bolt for Tye and Great Plains Drill Openers

Description

When you’re in the middle of seeding season and notice your disc blade bolts starting to back out, you know it’s time for replacements. These left hand thread bolts are designed specifically to work with the rotation of drill disc blades – as the disc spins, the bolt actually tightens instead of loosening like standard bolts would. That’s the difference between finishing your planting on schedule and dealing with loose blades in the middle of the field.

What You’re Getting

• Genuine left hand thread that tightens with disc rotation for secure attachment
• Grade 5 strength handles the constant vibration and impact of field work
• 5/8-11 thread size with 1-1/4 inch length fits Tye and Great Plains disc openers perfectly
• Zinc finish resists corrosion from soil moisture and chemical exposure
• Sold in multiples of 10 so you can service multiple rows at once

Built for Real Farm Work

These bolts are made for the disc openers on Tye and Great Plains grain drills – the workhorses that get your corn, soybeans, wheat, and other crops in the ground. Whether you’re no-tilling into heavy residue or working prepared seedbeds, these drill disc openers take a beating as they slice through soil conditions that change from one end of the field to the other.

Made to Last

Drill disc blade bolts deal with constant shock loads from rocks, roots, and varying soil conditions. The Grade 5 rating means these bolts have the tensile strength to handle those impacts without stretching or breaking. The zinc coating helps them resist the corrosive effects of fertilizer, moisture, and soil acids that can eat up unprotected hardware.

Good to Know

Remember, these are left hand thread bolts – they tighten by turning counterclockwise, opposite of regular bolts. When removing old bolts, turn clockwise to loosen them. It’s worth replacing all the bolts on a section at the same time since they tend to wear at similar rates. Keep the torque specs reasonable – over-tightening can strip threads or stress the disc hub.
