Bandit 250 Knife Bolts, What angle?

[Brodiesel]

My bandit 250 takes 5/8-11 NC 3" bolts (socket head screws) for the knifes. Im ordering these from a supplier, (cheaper than dealer) but the bolt flats come in 82, 90, or 92 degree angles, anyone know the right angle? Bandit part# 900-4903-92

Thanks.

Check the angle of the bolts you removed with an angle measuring device. And I would recommend buying the proper bolts from Bandit. These are critical. The angle must match the hole in the blade and they need to be high quality. I've had 3 bolts break in recent years on different chippers, the bolts were from an unknown source. Fortunately no serious damage occurred.

Sometimes cheaper parts cost a lot more.

Got it, thank you.
