Need help with a socket size!!!

Ok, what size socket do I need to use in order to get the bolts that connect the fan shroud to the intake. I have tried several different ones and none seem to catch. Thanks.

OTR or heavy equipment?

Was a Deere tech from 96-2004, pipeline heavy mechanic until 2009.
