129 tunnel cover bolts
I am wondering what size bolts fit in the tunnel cover. The only thing thst I can find that will fit and thread in is an eye bolt from a turn buckle. I have been to 3 stores and cant find a bolt the same size and thread as the eye bolt.

Drill out the hole and weld or jb weld a 1/4-20 nut under the frame. I have never had good luck with the little screws staying in the frame

Any well equipped Hardware Store will have a 12-24 x 3/8" bolt. There are at least three places locally here that care them.

I, too, have had a hard time finding them. My local NAPA (usually has what I need) didn't have them and they sent me to a specialty company called Fastenal and they didn't have any. So, I went to my cub dealer that had just 3 and each one was pricey....seems like it was over a dollar or two, which I thought was a bit much for such a little bolt.

Restore or Fix?
Cub1450129: I had a hard time STARTING the little bolts that came on my Model 149, and then I lost two of them in the grass; so I ran a 1/4"-20 tap through the rear two holes and used 1/2" long stainless steel bolts. I haven't had a problem with the setup, although I'm careful not to crank on them. I don't have the front bolts in the tractor at all, and I keep a 7/16" nut driver handy in the shed to pop the cover off.
Looking back though, I wish I had kept it original. I was using what I had on hand to "get'r done," now I don't have the option of "keeping it as it was." Just something to consider. Jeremiah

Part of the problem is the original screws were self-tapping, so if the person installing them wasn't paying attention, they could be cross-threaded without it being noticed. Do that a couple times and there are no threads left. If the threads are still intact, make sure whatever screws you buy aren't self-tapping so you don't have to worry about this problem.

Matt's right.
And then if they are cross threaded and the threads gone, the best option for me atleast is to tap them out bigger and use a bigger bolt. BTDT.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
