Front Bumper for My Wheel Horse

Recommended Posts

I am working on front bumper for my Wheel Horse Tractor and need some solid steel dome rivets that are 1/2" diameter, about 5/8" to 1" long. These are very hard to find. Thanks

Why not use carriage bolts?

FASTENAL... or as WHnut says.. carriage bolts. Stainless Steel carriage bolts are cheap and don't rust. Use Nylok nuts.

I use SS carriage bolts on the front bumper of my S-10 pickup...still look good, and no rust. Easy to replace the bumper, too (3 times now...deer kills), because they don't rust.

Thanks for the replies. I should have been more specific on the use of the rivets. I will be welding the rivets to the frame and using them as hangers. I tried Fastenal with no luck.

Thanks again

Catch...try a farm store  (TSC or Orschliens) or farm imp dealer....look at "plow shear bolts"...they will have a flat head ideal for welding...just my 2 $$'s
