Skeets - - Sorry your mower failed you...These are the 4 bolts that hold the pulley to the boss up on top??
I'm guessing 5/16" - can't tell length well, but think 1 1/4" should be close..1" might do it. ***Skeets - - a follow-up - -I "redneck" measured my RCK54, and look to be 1". Some of both 1 and 1-1/4 wouldn't hurt since you have the RCK60..
Then there's just a lock washer and nut up top. The nuts on mine take a 1/2" socket, so reinforces 5/16" bolt....***Skeets - another follow up - - I threaded a standard thread 5/16" nut on mine - so they are 5/16"
For what it's worth - - Kubota P/N's:
01153-50825 Bolt, Hex
02054-50080 Nut, Hex
75599-33012 Washer Spring (5/16)
I'd fix it up for you, but it'd take me a while to get to Coal Country....really wish I could help more.
Take care, my friend. Don't over-do it getting her back together....

Yep - I was thinkin' nylock nut also...
Just watch the belt as you're taking things apart....something might get pinched....don't want you to dangle something down there you want to use later!!
Why not put some tie straps through the three holes to keep parts in place, if you're concerned about something falling when you take the last bolt out?
I still have no idea WHY Kubota didn't put lock nuts on those. Those or Flanged nuts. They just stuck some old 5/16 plain bolts, flat washers and lock washers with plain old nuts on them and expect it to last. I'd like to have a discussion who whomever engineered that setup.
Check your bolt holes for wear. When they get loose, a lot of times the holes get oblonged. Sometimes to the point where they won't hold the bolt/nut.

Um, isn't everything Kubota METRIC ? I suspect they are 8mm bolts which is just a wee bit smaller than 5/16.
reminds me I need some shear pins for the rorotiller, though it's raining cats,dogs and elephants here today..again....
