Looking for the squared mounting nut on a Warn 9.5ti winch.
the bolt is 3/8-16 X 1 1/4" long and lock washer is 3/8, but I cant seem to find any info from warn on what size the nut is. I'm sure I could find a nut to fit the bolt, but finding one to slide into the winch housing is proving difficult.

what size is this nut? I'm not finding much at the hardware store where I am at. Is this a special order thing?

 

My concern with that is the nut not taking the correct load under full winching. The hex being thinner on the outside edges after grinding than the square.

Appreciate the idea though, will check it out

 

I have found the nut online, but is just any ole square nut going to be the same as the one from Warn?

 

As long as the threads are the same i suppose

 

thanks man, yea threads and size are same, but didn't know if warn had load ratings since there only 4 nuts cinching the winch to the plate that need to withstand 19,000lbs at least

 

I got nuts at a ace hardware they seem to hold up just fine under wiching

 

Did you call Warn? I hear great things about their customer service on here.

 

Thanks. I plan on calling Monday, but wanted to check here first. I hate paying shipping costs that are more than the part itself.
