Hello all. I have an rk25, I'm old, getting older and stepping up into tractor a stretch for me. Looking for a step or to fabricate one. Cannot use the floor of
operator station for mounting one since it is plastic (fiberglass, polycarbonate ??) On left side of tractor at bottom of loader frame are three holes with welded on
threaded nuts located close together, two in line with each other, the third closer to tractor and offset. I'm pretty sure these are for mounting mid-mount mower,
which I don't have or use, but would be ideal place for attaching a fabricated steel step. My question is can anyone tell me the bolt size and thread pitch for those bolts.
Length is of no consequence, just the bolt size (for example - 21 mm). I cannot find any metric bolts at the hardware store close to the size so that I could just trial and
error until I find the right one. If you have rk25 and use those mounting holes I would appreciate knowing what size the bolts are. Rural King could not help. I asked them
to look it up they said it would only show a part number and not the actual bolt size. I would think the information would be included with the mid-mount mower book
(if there is one) but no help so far from RK.
Or if anyone can direct me to a step already made and for sale or a fabricated one to reference would appreciate that as well.
Thanks
