Yep, @
twag4 figured it out ......
After I took the badly bent ram tube off and my grandpa and I heated it up with a torch and sledged on it against a RR rail, till it was almost round, the hay baling resumed.
My grandpa explained to me that "sheer" bolts are meant to "sheer" and don't have markings on the head. The "case hardened" bolts - as he called them, have marks on the top of them ....... aaaaaannnnnndddddd ..... they don't sheer.
Sorry ......
....... I digressed again ..........
