Be sure to use plenty of anti-sieze on SS fasteners that you install with a wrench.
Screwdriver tights might not, but wrench driven SS fasteners are easy to gall the fastener together with the nut.
Then you have to twist them off or drill them out.
And stainless is not fun to drill.

What Roland said the 12/24's are a bear to find unless you get to a good Hardware store. Ran into the same issue some were there and some were missing tap to 1/4x20 and no worries!

NO!
The guys are only talking about the tunnel cover bolts. Not ALL of the bolts.

The parts book gives the size of all the fasteners.

^^^^^^ICYMI

NOT all the bolts.

JUST the tunnel cover, and thanks for posting this.

I thought I was going nuts (no pun) trying to secure my T.C.

Tap and upsize sounds like a great solution.

TSC sells them. They are #12 screws as Roland states. They don't have the exact length as my local one only has one length and i seem to be the only guy that buys them, they are in the drawers that all big box stores have but my Local lowes and hd only go up to #10's. 1/4 x 20 in the tunnel cover seems too big to me but to each his own. Those #12s are also used in clutch covers, small rear side panels on the 108, and some engine sheet metal too. Might as well get the right stuff Gene. Dash panel uses 10 x 32s, etc. I like getting stainless there for some bling, but again, up to the owner. Try to find the right diameter truss head screws for the step plates too, everything can be found with some research.

1/4" is just the next size bigger from #12. It's the only choice you have (when the holes strip)....... unless you go metric.

I see that now. Weird because the #12s I have come with a 5/16 head on them where the 1/4s are 7/16. Guess I never paid attention to the thread diameter

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.
