Actually, Sam Mac, I just re-read your post, I didn't think about a washer first, my son has a mig, I might think about that. Yes, I noticed the loc-tite, which made me question all the posts I've read about these bolts working loose and then breaking, as tight as they are, there's no way they worked loose first. As a matter of fact, when I first got this tractor, I questioned how good an idea it was to have only four bolts (yeah, I know, there's another bracket on the hydro) and thought I would make up a plate that utilizes all of the bolts in the carrier, guess I should have at that point.
