Just for the info, did the motor have all 4 mount bolts in place? The smaller push mowers have 3, the bigger ones have 4.

If you put up the model number of the tractor, we can look and see where the fasteners like them are.

Those are used in a lot of spots, you might take a look. I usually go back with a regular bolt and locknut, so they won't fall out again.
