ARGGGGGGGEEEEE.... While Im waiting on the hydro filter i was going to mow with the BX,, WTH, only one side of the deck is lifting,,, grrrrrrrrrrrr So bad shoulder and all I get under her, on the left side where the 3pt lift comes back to the pivot for the lift arms on the MMM. There are 2 holes where bolts should be, but no bolts and as the 3pt works up and down these bolts hold the pivot rod for the MMM. The holes seem to be 1/2 inch but not a 1/2sae can some one please tell what size they are, so I can make a run to lowes. dealer is close,, of course!
OK now the BX

Look at markings on similar bolt heads or just buy 1 of each because it's not worth wasting time trying to figure it out when you could be mowing.

I suggest you take one off the other side and try to match it. Home Depot and Lowe’s have a gauge hanging on the hardware aisle that you can use to measure the size and pitch.
Most metric bolts have 3 pitches and ny L185 uses the fine mostly and the extra fine sometimes.
Home Depot and Lowe’s may have the fine pitch and coarse pitch sometimes they are in the drawers of specialty hardware
You might be able to just use wha you have left and divide it up into two sides equally as you can.
Well these bolts were only on the one side,, so no matching them up,, I took a leap of faith and got 2, 12mm as Jay said. Wasnt sure of how long so I got one I figured would be long enough and then hacked them down,, lock washer and they are in and all is working as the big K intended,,,, more or less 
Maybe I will yank them out and blue lock tight them in,,, you know just for kicks
