John deere ROPS

[emgmetz]

Hi to all.
I just joined and am after information and possibly the right part.
I just got a 1987 John Deere 750 with loader and factory ROPS. There are two threaded bolt holes, one on each side which I believe the are meant to fasten a seat belt. My problem is I don't know the bolt size an thread. I have gone through my surplus parts and bolts and have not found any bplt that will thread into the holes,
Does any one happen to know what I need to fasten my seat belt.

Thanks,
Gordon

Thanks Dusty. I haven't tried a fine thread yet. My book said everything on the tractor was metric. Hope this works.

Thread type is immaterial because 7/16 bolt in parts photo utilizes a nut. So as long as bolt & nut are same type thread you should be good to go.
