bud119195 Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 does anyone know where you can get the thumb screws that hold the hood on a yeoman
BLT Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Well you might try the Simplicity dealer or if one is not close by the go to a local hardware store. I got my replacements at our True Value. They might not look the same, but they hold the hood down.
gregc Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 You can also try here: http://www.mcmaster.com/ Under "Fastening and Sealing" click on Thumb Screws.
mowerman1193 Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 Look in the classifieds here....There is a ad that was posted a week ago or so that someone was making them in a machine shop and made them as close to original as was possible... I think they was made for the B series but I belive they are the same...
Tom_Byrne Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 I saw that ad also. Has anyone ever bought these from him? I see he's been a member almost three years but no posts.
Agricola Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 If there is any value in them, I might get my brother in law to machine some of them for us.
thedaddycat Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 There was a set on eBay that the bid started at $25.
callwill Posted August 10, 2003 Posted August 10, 2003 $25!!! for thumbscrews!!! They would have to use them on me to get me to bid !!!
