Unit fixing bolt (1⅞ in. U.H.)
Rear suspension unit fixing bolt, 1⅞ in. U.H., PN 82-8997 (formerly F8997).
This is the fixing bolt that secures the rear suspension unit at its mounting point, listed in the parts books under the swinging arm and suspension units section. Ed's shop lists it at 82-8997, which shows up in earlier parts books as F8997 - same bolt, older number.

The catalog spec calls it out as a 1⅞ in. U.H. bolt, so it's a specific length made for this mounting job rather than a generic fastener off the shelf. It shows up in catalog listings for machines from the late '60s into 1970, but the shop's records don't tie it to one specific model beyond that.
If you're rebuilding the rear suspension mounts and this bolt is stretched, rusted, or the threads are buggered up, it's worth replacing rather than reusing. Give the shop a call if you want to double check fitment before ordering.
