Already checked that. 2 bolts were rock solid, 3rd I was able to tighten maybe a half turn.

Depending on what model you have (not familiar with your model number), there are 4 bolts that hold the engine block onto the muffler plate
that can only be accessed by removing the muffler from under the mower (you have to remove blade first). The Muffler plate itself is held
on to the deck by 3 bolts. You can have the muffler plate rock solid tight and the motor block may still be loose.

Phototone,
Thank you, you obviously know your stuff. This explains alot. Sounds like a winter project for me to do. Too many other irons in the fire right now.
