"I've seed people take a old heavy slab of oak and bore a auger hole through it and drive a heel-bolt in there and put it on a scooter plow stock to use in place of a harrow. If it's smooth land that slab will drag the bed off level."
Uit: Theodore Rosengarten - All God's Dangers; The Life of Nate Shaw
De vertaling zal ongeveer worden:
"Ik heb mensen gezien die een zware plaat eikenhout namen en dan met een grondboor er een gat doorheen boorden, en dan een [heel-bolt] erdoorheen draaiden en dat op een schoffelploegraam zetten om te gebruiken in plaats van een eg. Als de grond vlak is, dan sleept die plaat het grondbed glad."

slotbout
Ik zou gaan voor "slotbout". Alleen draai je deze niet door het hout, maar je slaat deze erdoor, zodat de vierkante kraag grip houdt in het hout.

"On a cold January morning in 1969, a young white graduate student from Massachusetts, stumbling along the dim trail of a long-defunct radical organization of the 1930s, the Alabama Sharecropper Union, heard that there was a survivor and went looking for him. In a rural settlement 20 miles or so from Tuskegee in east-central Alabama he found him—the man he calls Nate Shaw—a black man, 84 years old, in full possession of every moment of his life and every facet of its meaning. . . . Theodore Rosengarten, the student, had found a black Homer, bursting with his black Odyssey and able to tell it with awesome intellectual power, with passion, with the almost frightening power of memory in a man who could neither read nor write but who sensed that the substance of his own life, and a million other black lives like his, were the very fiber of the nation's history." —H. Jack Geiger, New York Times Book Review

Theodore Rosengarten (born December 17, 1944[1]) is an American historian.
He graduated from Amherst College in 1966 with a BA, and earned his PhD from Harvard University with a dissertation on Ned Cobb (1885–1973), a former Alabama tenant farmer. Subsequently, he developed his interviews with Cobb as a kind of "autobiography", All God's Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw (1974), which won the U.S. National Book Award in category Contemporary Affairs.[2]
About fifteen years later, All God's Dangers: The Life of Nate Shaw was adapted and produced as a one-man play starring Cleavon Little at the Lamb's Theater in New York City.[3]

: Yes, one form of it. Unfortunately, a limited number of references for 'heel-bolt' on Google, while the images differ and no clear linguistic info (definitions). What does 'heel' signify to you, as a native English speaker, in this context?

Het zal echter nodig zijn om een verklaring toe te voegen, omdat 'hielbout' geen bekend begrip is in het hedendaags Nederlands.

HEEL
The landslide adjustable heel etc.
It is attached with two bolts.
http://www.stripmine.org/sears/manuals/917253010.pdf
The person talking here is an illiterate, but very intelligent, black man, with an own way of speaking and an enormous, detailed knowledge of cotton cultivation.
I am quite sure this explains it. It makes a lot of sense that this 'heel' refers to an object that is attached with the bolt: a bolt for attaching the heel.
In this case, this is what could be happening:
This heel-bolt connects the 'heel' (the rear bottom end of the landslide, which rubs against the furrow sole) or the plow stock (= the part that turns the earth to which an iron plow share would be attached) to this heavy slab of oak.
I will have a closer look later.
"The land side is the flat plate which presses against and transmits the lateral thrust of the plough bottom to the furrow wall. It helps to resist the side pressure exerted by the furrow slice on the mould board. It also helps to stabilise the plough while in operation. The rear bottom end of the landslide, which rubs against the furrow sole, is known as the heel. A heel iron is bolted to the end of the rear of the land side and helps to support the back of the plough. The land side and share are arranged to give a "lead" towards the unploughed land, so helping to sustain the correct furrow width. The land side is usually made of solid medium-carbon steel and is very short, except at the rear bottom of the plough. The heel or rear end of the rear land side may be subject to excessive wear if the rear wheel is out of adjustment, and so a chilled iron heel piece is frequently used. This is inexpensive and can be easily replaced. The land side is fastened to the frog by plough bolts."
