Doing my pm on the machine and I dropped one of those nuts. I need to do an order anyways but has anyone ever found those nuts in any hardware stores like lowes or hd?

Ok floyd. I will give them a go. Mind you both stores have idiots working in the hardware section today. As I have visited both already for something else. Thank you sir.

Lowes was a nogo. Looks like 5-40 or 5-44. Not metric?

Ok. Noone knows I guess. I still don't either. But I know that I found a bunch at home. After I went to lowes and hd and struck out of course.

I think I counted about 20. Ita in one of those kits of screws and nuts that you think you will never use.
