John Deere Standards are intended for use by Deere & Company, its divisions and subsidiaries. Suppliers who rely on them in furnishing products to or for the benefit of the Company must determine that they are in possession of the latest version. Distribution of the standards to parties other than John Deere Suppliers, whether with or without charge, are for information only and Deere & Company disclaims all responsibility for results attributable to the application of or compliance with such standards. The Company makes no representation, express or implied, that conformity ensures compliance with applicable law or other rules or regulations. Further, those who are in receipt of and elect to use the standards, agree to assume the responsibility for compliance with patents, as well as potential patent infringement.

1 Scope

APPROVED FOR SUPPLIER DISTRIBUTION

JDM A17.2 specifies general requirements for unified inch series externally threaded fasteners, including: materials and mechanical properties, product marking, screw threads, dimensions and tolerances, finish and coatings, inspection and quality assurance, and packaging identification. JDM A17.2 applies to bolts, screws, studs A , and similar externally threaded parts with unified inch screw threads of nominal diameters 1.500 in and smaller. JDM A17.2 does not apply to: fasteners not under tensile stress, such as set screws fasteners which cut or form mating threads, such as: wood screws or lag screws; tapping screws; thread cutting, thread forming, or thread rolling screws; or self drilling screws heavy hex bolts and screws, or heavy hex structural bolts JDM A17.2 does not specify requirements for: weldability. corrosion resistance in service environments. ability to withstand temperatures above +500F (+260C) or below -60F (-50C) resistance to shear stress fatigue resistance.

Designations

2.1 Carbon & Alloy Steels. Carbon and alloy steel material and strength grades are designated by
the JDM number shown in Table 1. Table 1 cross-references the JDM number to the applicable SAE J429 grade.

JDM NUMBER SAE GRADE A17A 1 A17B 2 A17D 5 5.1 5.2 A17F 8 8.1 8.2 A17G (none)

2.2 Stainless Steels. The alloy group and condition should be designated according to ASTM F593 except for socket head products, ASTM F837 for socket head cap screws, or ASTM F879 for socket button and flat countersunk head cap screws. 2.3 Non-Ferrous Metals. The alloy number should be designated according to ASTM F468.

General Requirements

General requirements not otherwise specified shall be as specified by the standards for materials and mechanical properties.

Materials & Mechanical Properties

4.1 Carbon & Alloy Steel. The material, treatment, mechanical properties, required tests, and test
methods shall be as specified in the standards indicated in Table 2. Where more than one standard applies, the choice is at the option of the supplier.

The term stud" in this standard applies to a cylindrical rod of moderate length, threaded on either one or both ends or throughout its entire length, and either straight or bent (including U-bolts, etc). It does not apply to headed, collared, or similar products more closely characterized as bolts.

Product Marking B

Except as follows, all socket head screws and JDM A17G flange 12-point cap screws shall be marked to identify the source (manufacturer or private label distributor), and all other bolts, screws, and studs shall be marked to identify both the grade and the source. Except for JDM A17G, the grade mark shall be the symbol specified by the standard for material and mechanical properties. For JDM A17G, the grade mark shall be the number 180.
