Has anyone found a good alternative to the OEM deck wheels. Looked at Stens but they dont sell the bolts with the wheels.

Not really. I found that my MMM linkage needs to be adjusted occasionally every couple years. I just make sure my deck wheels aren't too close to the ground.
While I like the concepts of MMM, after using my rear mount flail mower to mow my lawn, my next tractor will be getting a rear finishing mower. For lots of reasons. Mostly the fact that you can "back" under trees and obstacles -- especially evergreens. Since I got a lot of those on my property, it gets old using the push mower and weed whacker.

Never found anyone that carried the right bolts except Kubota. My local general parts store carries the exact same wheels as the Kubota without the grease fitting. I think the last time i got some they were about $ 6 or $7 each.

This is exactly what makes the front deck mowers handy on our property!
Less twisting of back & neck.

Yeah, I like those front mount Kubota mowers, but I can't justify it. Also it probably be broke in a week because my grounds are so bad even my little BX gives it a heckle.
A few years ago I tried one of those Ferris 3 wheelers and the stupid rear wheel got caught on a hole and it ripped the two bars from my hands and slapped my the back of my arm as it flung around. Thought I fractured my arm it hit so hard. I said never again.

I think I am going to bite the bullet and replace mine with those, even at the $160 price tag.
