If Fastenal has the correct nuts, would they also have the correct bolts to match? For scarce heavy duty hardware, I have found some items at our local John Deere sales/parts/service store. Just a thought.

Thanks EDP, that's the one. I would think a hose rearrangement would be a little easier than moving the heater inside, providing the hoses were not initially installed correctly.
I've read threads like this before and have never had any issues with my heater as installed from the factory. Occasionally the heater hoses are not installed in the right location on the engine causing the heater not to work to it's full capabilities. There is a PS article written describing...
