Actually Jimmy Carter got the ball rolling but Ronald Regan put a stop to it, I sure don’t know why.
Not a lot of enthusiasm among the American public for it, especially when it came to weights or measurements (ie-mileage). Then again, with so much being manufactured overseas try to find a product made in the last 35 years or so that doesn't have metric fasteners.

At one time Imperial gallons were being used. Fortunately, the Metric system was introduced.

In your opinion not in mine, you are entitled to yours, I'm entitled to mine.

Earlier I said I got a bolt from the dealer, it was actually a nut. It’s shown in the left side of the picture below. It’s for the front of the mower deck and is metric. At our local farm store I took a nut with me, it would thread onto an English bolt so I bought the nut for it. The English nut would not thread onto the bracket, just different enough. The dealer had the correct one, for something like $4.
