Unless it's a very old mower you should be able to find it, although you may have to buy whole wheel unit.

Email the manufacturer?

Or take the bolt to DIY place and see if they have anything the same size?

A bolt holding a wheel that you push it on? Or the pull cord assembly?

If it’s a wheel, they are usually a standard size. A pull cord assembly is easier to fit all in one of you are an amateur.

Should be able to go into a diy shop with the broken bolt and find one the same thread size. It won’t be a special bolt. Just needs to have the same thread length and diameter.

Worst case find an engineering shop and get it from there. I usually order nuts and bolts off eBay for any project I’m doing if I’m not in a rush. Usually a lot cheaper and I can get stainless steel nuts instead of mild steel

you may have a proper bolt shop localy, much more stock than a diy store, and they usually know what they are talking about, it will probably be a m8*1.25 or m10*1.5 should be readaly available, if its an old mower it may be imperial, most diy shops wont haave those so my first point stands as your best bet, imperial stuff is still around
