John Deere GreenStar / GS2 display mounting hardware screw size
M6 · length not stated in the sources
John Deere GreenStar / GS2 display mounting hardware takes M6 metric screws. None of the sources we found gives an exact length, so measure the original before you order.
Where it is used: metric cap screws per Deere torque chart DX_TORQ2.
Head and drive, as the source states them: socket cap head.
This entry is marked reported and comes from John Deere Operator's Manual OMPC20699.
M6 means a 6 mm nominal diameter with a 1 mm thread pitch. Imperial look-alike: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6.

How to check the screw before you buy
- VESA holes are threaded inserts in the back cover; if a screw stops early, back it out rather than forcing it, because a bottomed-out screw can crack the panel housing.
- Diameter: across the threads an M6 screw measures about 6 mm with calipers (usually a hair under). If yours measures noticeably more or less, it is a different thread.
- Pitch: 1 mm from one thread crest to the next (10 crests per centimetre). A thread pitch gauge or the pitch-gauge tool settles it in seconds.
- Length: for socket cap screws, measure from under the head to the tip (countersunk heads are the exception: they are measured overall).
- Driver: the source does not name the drive. Standard M6 heads take PH3 for Phillips and T30 for Torx, and a 5 mm hex key for socket heads; a bit that fits loosely will cam out and strip the head.
- Tightening: no device-specific torque is published in these records. The site's general figure for M6 is about 7-10 N·m into metal threads and 2.5-4.0 N·m into plastic bosses; snug it up and stop.
Common mix-ups with M6
- VESA displays over 50kg move up to M8 x 1.25, which is outside metric M6 hardware - don't force an M6 bolt into a heavy-panel mount.
- Astro dovetail hardware is inconsistent: Losmandy-brand dovetail plate screws are 1/4-20 (imperial) per Losmandy/Astro-Physics documentation, while PrimaLuceLab's PLUS-standard dovetails explicitly use M6 — don't assume metric across all 'Losmandy-style' dovetail ecosystems.

Questions about John Deere GreenStar / GS2 display mounting hardware screws
- What size screw does John Deere GreenStar / GS2 display mounting hardware use?
- M6 for metric cap screws per Deere torque chart DX_TORQ2.
- How long are the screws in John Deere GreenStar / GS2 display mounting hardware?
- None of the sources states a length. Remove one screw and measure it from under the head to the tip (overall for a countersunk head).
- What is the thread pitch of an M6 screw?
- 1 mm (coarse), which is the standard pitch for M6 machine screws; a 0.75 mm fine pitch exists but is uncommon. The tap drill is 5 mm and the normal clearance hole is 6.6 mm.
- What screwdriver do I need for John Deere GreenStar / GS2 display mounting hardware?
- The sources do not name the drive. For M6, Phillips heads normally take PH3 and Torx heads T30; socket heads take a 5 mm hex key.
- Can I use an imperial screw instead of M6?
- No. Imperial look-alike: 1/4in-20 (6.35 mm) — the tripod/camera thread; visibly larger than M6. Use a true M6 screw so it does not cross-thread or strip the hole.
