This episode was almost comical...called NH Corp...as Earthwrk noted is what occurred. About as technical as a dozen eggs. I did end up calling the Ag Dealer where I purchased the tractor. He couldn't get the size via parts listing since NH neglected to include the housing cover & bolt sizes in their specs. But, you know what Ray at Eklund Farm Equipment did? He actually went outside & removed the same bolt from a tractor to size it for me. That is one decent fella!
M10x25 for anyone who runs across the same problem. I am a annoyed at the loosening of bolts that are on factory installed components. I could almost understand it happening on after market add ons. Anyway, thanks again fellas for your input.

[QUOTE=earthwrks;151697] Personally, I feel the Clarke (with an "e") is a way of the maufacturer to take advantage of the Clark Equipment name of old recogized for making quality equipment---even the logo is similar. That said, Northern is not the value-price house that they claim to be or give that impression or illusion. Tractor Supply sells Clarke tools so that tells a lot right there. Even Sears sells better quality!I'd look in the classifieds for a cheap arc welder. If you're talking a MIG or wire welder, I'd check out the Miller or Lincolns at Lowes. Excellent quality for the price---which is just a little more that Harbor Freight (now THAT's some low-priced junk!) Did you know that 4 or 5 car batteries in series (or is it parallel?) with regular welding leads and 1/8" rod will provide enough power to weld with? [/QUOTE]

Thanks EW. I rather use arc than mig. I never had any experience with the 110V units but due to minimal use & portability, I have some interest. Still, I would hate to buy only to find out it is a useless piece of equipment.

In my past life [now retired] I worked installing natural gas underground piping systems and am used to Lincoln AC/DC mounted welding units. I wasn't a welder but worked alongside them so I have just enough knowledge to get myself in trouble.:-)

I have a Suzuki King Quad F 350 [2000] that I have abused for many a year :-) . Thing is like a small tank & aside from one complaint I have with the CV boots, I am satisfied with this 4 wheeler. Use it to skid timber, winch downfalls, ride my trails & numerous other routine chores.

I recently purhased the 6 Ton DR Electric Splitter & am impressed with it. I split 4 cords of mostly maple & ash per year. I was doing it with an 8 lb maul for many years but tore my rotator cuff a few years ago so I decided on this model rather than a gasoline model. Yeah, I know it may not be up to doing the job like the big boys but for home use it is practical. Nice & quiet, easy to roll around & simple to maintain.
