Attachment 423742Thanks Dave for the reply...counting I believe its a 5/16 x 18 not sure if flat or piloted... it looks piloted to me I attach pictures
Yes, it is piloted. You may want to get a micrometer (10 bucks at harbor freight) to measure diameter of pilot and shaft where it meets butt. It is a 5/16 and looks like X 18, but your count will control; you could also go to home depot and check it with a nut, but screw on very carefully. Or could check by counting 9 in a half inch to confirm.
First of all thanks for the guidance ... Sure of the size now 5/16 x 18 (counted 18 threads per inch) as for the pilot it diameter measures out a .4545 inch..does that sound about right?
