Looks to be a standard size lug nut.
If you're not too fussy about form or fit.

Tried your local hardware store ? How about the farm supply ?
no, I need a square nut
Well, that lets out all the nuts on this group. They were all rounded off, long ago. :)
Too bad i don't need a wing nut. There's lots of those here, both left and right.
The root diameter is 25/64", do you have a 3/8" square nut to drill out?

How many do you need?

Yeah, if you can find any that still have decent threads. ;-)
I found 7 square nuts in the 7/16 nut box. But, all are 7/16 X 14 thread. I don't think I have ever seen square nuts with fine threads. Perhaps that why the normal sources don't have any.

Isn't it amazing how few seem to read the entire post before submitting some response. :-) ...lew...
In my opinion, yes, you'll have to "roll your own". 7/16-20 is a(n) SAE thread, so it's highly unlikely to be found as a square nut. I would expect you'd find only USS threads in square nuts, if any at all.

How about facing off the 'weld nut' features from their P/N 2011?

Just put it in your nut squeezer and make it a 14, Paul.

I can't recall ever seeing a square nut in a fine thread, only coarse. Are you replacing existing?

Yep. On my 8N tractor there are two nut keepers with square fine thread 7/16 nuts to bolt body to frame by the lower raditor. I guess I
*could* buy the whole frame piece. Not going to happen."Midas" added a couple more items to the 8N rebuild yesterday. While I have it apart I Midas well put in electronic ignition. And if the igintion is completely replaced I Midas well put a new carburator on too.
We painted the castings two days ago and I'm on final assembly.

Yup, sounds like you're going to make them, unless you have an 8N parts machine.

What - no fuel injection??
Did you know you can still drive a tractor on the public roads after losing your licence?
A guy I knew put a Ford flathead V8 on an 8N and then super charged it. Big turf tires and an early Ford front steering and suspension. He could pass folks on the highway on his way to the bar.
