That’s what I did on my tiller mount. I welded ears on top of the tiller mount and used two 3/8” grade eight bolts through the frame on each side. My tiller mount is completely homemade and I since reengineered the whole thing so the pic wont quite match yours. The weight of the tiller is trying to lever the top of the mount away from housing. Tying it to the frame takes most of that stress away from the housing and the bolts holding it to the housing
