I need the metric thread for the bolt holes that hold the grille guard on the RTV 500?
Looked up Kubota parts and all they have is a part Number, nothing on the threads.

I just went out and ran the actual bolt through my Fastenal drill/tap gauge. I couldn't thread it in any of the metric. It ran in the 1/2-20 like a glove though. Hole size of 31/64 if you need that (OD of threads)
Just curious. I have a RTV 900 and haven't run into any fasteners, etc. that weren't metric. I haven't fiddled with the brush guard, however. Has anyone run into non-metric fasteners, etc. on their RTVs?

No, I can tell you they are metric but my impact did a nice job with the 1/2-20 bolt on the one insert that wasn't quite right with my unit. From the factory one of my holes was buggered up so I found the closest bolt that would go and gave it some love with the impact. It's not the correct thread but it is really close so the thread would most likely be
12mm x 1.25mm threads just by converting the 1/2-20 to the closest metric size.
Some metric dia/thread counts come real close to US standard bolt diameters. I found my Ital-ian built (very metric) tractor had a 3/4" bolt in a metric hole. Wrong! Probably contributed to a bolt failure on my loader mounts. It fit just a bit loose.
