John Deere 455 diesel lawn tractor

Can anyone give me the part number for the mulching Kit on the 60-inch mower deck for John Deere 455 diesel? I misplaced the nuts and bolts. I know there are 2 wings nuts and two nuts and bolts. I cannot remember the size. Thanks in advance

You bet. I will go to the dealer on my day off to pick up a manual and get back to you with that info.

Mulch kit requires M8 hardware.

Yeah, those nuts and bolts shouldn't be more than $40-50 from JD.

Forgot to mention: Go to the hardware store and get 5/16" nuts and bolts. Could save you $$$.

It has probably changed since I left JD dealership in 1987 after being employed 21 yrs but before that JD had very competitive prices on hardware such as bolts & nuts. Just for kicks & grins I looked up the JD part prices on the afore mentioned mulch kit hardware. The 2 wing nuts were what escalated the $$$$$$.
