Set 798, Models G & GM Product Notes --  Reference pages 60 & 61 of PC369, Parts Catalog for Model G tractor, a total of twelve 3/4-inch long bolts are called out. This is apparently incorrect. Where the sides of each grille are attached to the side casting of the radiator, you need longer bolts -- here's where the four 1-1/4-inches long bolts come in -- in lieu of four of the 3/4-inch long fasteners. So set # GM contains eight (not twelve) machine screws that are 3/4-inch long, and four that are 1-1/4-inches long (with nuts) for the grille side attachment to radiator castings.

Sets 795/802, Model A Product Notes -- Reference page 70 of PC676, Parts Catalog for Model A tractor; for F/N 6 (1/2" long) use 18 each, for the two F/N 6 at top-rear of grille, use 3/4" long.  For F/N 11 (5/16-18 sq nuts) you need 4 to go with F/N 13 bolts leaving you 4 more as random replacements.  F/N 13 - 1-inch called out which is too short. See four bolts 1-1/4-inches long in your kit for this application.

 

Special Note 1. 

Not Original!  While these screws are Round Head Phillips Drive, the head is slightly less high than the Deere originals (not domed quite as much). The design of the Phillips Head has been improved to reduce creating a burr when withdrawing the screwdriver as was commonplace with originals.  These crews are better!  I hope that by showing an entire set with various orientations, comparisons with Deere originals, and the final application, that the nature of this quality product becomes self-evident.

Special Note 2.  

If you are seeking additional square nuts for renewal of those in the hood & elsewhere on your tractor, please specify the added requirements and note that added square nuts are supplied at the rate of $0.25 each. Added shipping costs will not be levied unless you order over a dozen extra nuts.

 

Here we have the Set # H Sheet Metal Fasteners - 30 pieces

 

The two short screws are orignal, and the two longer ones are like those in this kit.
