Hey,



I'm new to the forum and wanted to say something abt the bolts question. 



I have designed some hyd systems for an auger and usually there is a 

weak link that you can allow to fail so the rest of the sytem

doesn't fail.



I'd never 2nd guess a designers materials usage.. Well i wld since im so 

damn curious and an Engineer. But for the most part i wouldnt change 

things for no reason.

I'd have to have a 'design' reason, not a money reason. =-O



An axle for a wheel needs to be strong and not break. On the other hand, 

the grade 8's are pretty brittle and the spec'd bolts will flex w/o 

breaking long after the 8's will break. =-O



I wldnt do it.. >



Best Regards..



BR
