Old Bolt Collection Handy For Restorations
 ✖  |
Loren Myran likes old equipment, but he hates using shiny new nuts and bolts for repairs or restoration, which is what got him started collecting antique fasteners. With more than 150 bins filled with old hardware, Myran thinks he might have the world’s largest collection of square-headed bolts. He has hundreds of different types and sizes.
“I have more than 50 pieces of horse-drawn equipment, old Chevy cars and trucks, and IH tractors and implements,” says Myran. “I needed a supply of bolts for them and bought a set of bins with unused but rusty old bolts at an auction.”
That started his collection. He continues to pick up boxes, buckets and cans of old bolts whenever he can.
“After people find out that I collect them, they’ll drop off buckets of bolts their dad had saved from equipment he scrapped out,” says Myran.
He notes that on occasion bolts go out as well as come in. “People know I have a supply if they need some for restoration,” says Myran.
