2 of the 3 bolts that attach the engine to the mower deck ripped out of the mower deck of my self propelled push mower.
What is the fix for this?
I don't have access to a welder.
I think about your only option to do the repairs will require the use of a welder unfortunately.

And with the cancer it has even that is iffy.

after looking at it some more, I feel like I can rotate the engine a 1/8 to 1/4 of a turn and drill new holes in the deck. The self propelled function works off of a pulley and a belt so it should line up no matter the engine orientation.
Should work but just watch for cracking along the edge starting where the deck pieces are broke out. Or it will do the same thing again except may just let the engine fall out.

I went with JB wield washers and a piece of sheet metal!
This idea may be just crazy enough to work!
