This is one of those cases where the parts book simply lists "stud" and thread (1/2" NF), but not length, and just the kind of part that is hard to enough to get at that you can't just run out and measure the length. I think you've asked before and nobody came up with an answer and you want to get after it, so I'll offer a reasoned guess.
Assuming you don't have it apart and are trying to get some parts lined up, I'd consider a length of about 1-1/2". Figure you'll need 1/2" or a little better above the deck to take the thickness of the box a lockwasher and a nut, and I can't imagine the hole in the deck being much deeper than that, so I'm thinking 3/4" above and below to make 1-1/2". To err on the side of caution, you could start with 2", which would be more than plenty, I'd think. Worst that would get you is a little extra stud sticking up near the inside edges of the box that would require a deep-well socket to get the nut wound down.
If those lengths in a true finished stud are threaded their full length, you're home free. If they have an unthreaded section in the middle and turn out to be too long, you may have to thread them into the deck and then run a die down over them from the top to cut enough more thread to bolt the box down. Another option, if you can find some fine-threaded All-Thread, is to make your own.

Out of the yard, over the cows and bale piles, through the dozer piles, poplars, and brush, out onto the ditch grade road, past the noisy 6.2 diesel engine pulling my well traveled Suburban along. Well it sure didn't take me long to figure out what it was because I alrea
