Default Head bolts on a K341 in 169
My K341 on my 169 has hex head bolts instead of studs for the heat shield/muffler support. I plan to replace these two bolts with studs, and while I am at it, I will replace the remaining head bolts and washers, as I'm unsure if the existing ones are the correct size and hardness.
Does anyone have a good source for any of these bolts/studs? I am planning on using these if no suggestions:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...0UH9VAFQ1&th=1

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...KIKX0DER&psc=1

Here is a picture of the studs I mostly need the information for... not my engine; I borrowed the picture to show what I need.

Any hardware store worth its salt will have all these and more in stock.
You only need a few.

That is part of the problem, primarily only Lowe's and Home Depot here. The drawers are unsorted, empty, or 4x the normal cost.
By the time I make it to a real hardware store and celebrate success or leave empty-handed, I can order online and have it delivered and be wrenching instead of looking. Just have to make sure I am ordering the right parts.

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.
