Lawnmower blade bolt
Is there a special type bolt I need to get to replace my bolt on B&S model 92900 3 1/2 hoss, vertical shaft lawnmower engine?
The mower is a 1971 Snapper V21 if that matters.

Probably not special. But you'll need to have the correct size, along with a washer and most likely a lock washer. Maybe a spacer also. Google for a parts list and get the right number. Or go to Jacks small engine repair and give model number and make of mower for exact fit.

Well, not sure of my Snapper's model number, the decal on top of deck is encrusted with 45 yrs of dirt, looks hopeless to clean it enough to read. It's a bit of a Frankenstein mower as I replaced the original engine in 1986 when the original threw a rod. Looks similar to the V21P 83053 diagram I see on Jack's though. I have a square mounting block on the shaft though.

Googled it like you suggested and found the Snapper parts list. It spells out the type of bolt. 3/8-24x1 5/8 Hex Head Cap Grade 5, I'll look for one at HD tomorrow. Thanks!

Do yourself a favor and get a Grade 8 bolt. TSC has them for cheap. I bought some for 4.99 a pound Got 5 for a buck and some small bolts too ~!~!

I would stick with the grade 5. Grade 8 is harder but if you hit something, the grade 5 can give, twist, or bend a bit more where the grade 8 is too hard/brittle and may snap and let the blade go.
