Mahindra Max 26 XL
I have recently noticed that all of the bolts have basically fallen out of my loader, the plate that holds it to the tractor. I found some to replace what I thought was missng, however, upon putting them in, I've noticed even more missing. Some of the holes are the same size as what I just replaced. The others are smaller, they've all fallen out so I don't habe ine to compare to match the size, and I've had no luck finding the specs online anywhere. Can anyone tell me what size bolts go in these holes so I can find some replacements. I have the Mahindra Max 26 XL non hydrostat if that helps.
I'll also attach some photos.

Thanks for all the help and thanks for having me in the group!

A good habit to get into is keeping a decent supply of bolts on hand. Get a bolt bin or better yet buy one at an auction loaded up with bolts. There are many saved trips to town in a bin of bolts. They dont need to be brand new bolts either

The lesson I have learned is to keep a stock, that plan is to keep some on hand, once I figure out what they actually are. I may have to use the caliper trick. I hadn't thought of that one.

I have a smaller Max. On my machine, the factory engine bolts get replaced with grade 10.9 JIS bolts when they mount the loader frame. Torques is critical and maintenance section recommends checking torque believe it’s 150 hrs. Of bolts loosen up they tend to break. May want to make sure that’s not the case with yours. Believe yours is a different loader manufacturer.
