TonyBer 71 #1 Posted August 2, 2021 Any advice? Didn't realize that when trying to loosen the nut on battery box it was seized and snapped the screw that was attached/welded to box. Is this part available as a whole or any ideas on a fix? Thanks in advance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TonyBer 71 #5 Posted August 2, 2021 Interesting, is it a chain farm store like tractor supply or just local? Another gentleman was checking in entire box but if I can’t get that I’d buy those. Thnx! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pfrederi 17,741 #6 Posted August 2, 2021 Being frugal I just cut the head off a 1/4 bolt file an inch or so of it so its kinda flat on one side and weld it to the box... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
