Can anyone tell me what size and length the bolts are that hold in the rear end to the frame?

Matt look up the tractor on www.jdparts and JD will tell you exactly the type and length of the bolt that was used. Welcome to WFM. Roger

I tried looking it up last night and JDParts.com does not show the bolts that attach the axles to the frame. They show only the bolts that attach the axle housings to the differential.I looked a couple other places,but couldn't find the axle to frame bolts anywhere. Any body finds them,let us know where you found them.

The hitch plate and the 3 pt brackets use a 5/8 by 1 1/4 bolt going into the bottom of the housing.

But you are correct, the diagram for the housing only shows the bolts going into the differential. And this is true of the 330 and 420 also.

I have not taken the rear axle off so I don't have that intimate knowledge of the bolts.

They are in the brake section. Those bolts also hold the brake plate. 1/2" x 1 1/4".

Cliff, that size makes sense. The bolts aren't holding weight like the rear 3 PT. But I find it interesting how John Deere puts the section together. Like the top drive shaft on a rear pump 30 tiller is included with the electric clutch and not with the exploded view showing the pulley. There are several more like this I find amusing wondering who did it.
