SCREW,1/4BSFX1.5 INCH

A 1/4 BSF x 1.5 inch screw used in the gear cluster and clutch assemblies, catalog number 70-8160.

PN · 70-8160
Supersedes 40-0229 — earlier factory number for this part.

This is a 1/4 BSF screw, 1.5 inch long, catalog number 70-8160. It shows up in the parts book under the gear cluster and clutch figures, so it's used to secure components in those assemblies. If your parts book still lists the older factory number 40-0229, that's the same physical screw carried forward under this later number.

BSF (British Standard Fine) threads on a fastener this specific length are worth matching carefully rather than swapping in a generic hardware-store bolt — get the length and thread pitch right so the gear cluster or clutch parts seat and torque properly.

Our catalog record ties this to 1968 appearances in the gear cluster and clutch areas. If you're not sure it's the right screw for your particular gearbox or clutch setup, give us a call and we'll confirm before you order.
