    It looks like 28 TPI(I count 7 threads in a quarter inch) Is it 7/16 diameter? If so it I'm guessing it's a 7/16-28
    What is it from?

    If it is not a metric bolt, my guess would be 1/4 - 28 or 5/16 - 24, both UNRF (fine thread) pitches.

    Best option is to take it to the bolt bin at your local hardware store and find the nut that fits.

    Looks like 3/8X24 UNF.

    You need to stick an actual thread gauge on there. We can guess and come close to what is standard but we won't know until you do.

    4 1/2 threads per 1/4" = 18 tpi.

    Photo perspective is often misleading. My onageristic estimate is 3/16" diameter, 24 tpi, aka 10-24.

    my vote is for 1/4" X 24 TPI.

    Measuring off my screen, looks like Thorhammer is correct: 1/4-24, an uncommon size.

    See how easy this would be to walk out to the toolbox and get the thread gauge?

    Better yet if you don't have one, take it with you when you go to get what-ever nut it needs. BTW, when you're there, pick up a thread gauge, they're about $4-$5 maybe. A good tap and die set is only about $25.

    1/4-24 NS is a special size you won't find in any set.
