Fiberglass
I have done a lot of body work on cars, not so much on garden tractors, but metal is metal and should not be much different. If it were just small pin holes, I would have the panel sand blasted, apply masking tape to the outer surface to provide a backer then apply fiberglass (liquid resin with hardner) to the back side and if you worry about the metal being weak, embed some fiberglass cloth into the resin, this will make it as nearly as strong as was prior to rusting. Remove the tape (may have to hit it with flapper disk, fiberglass will stick to the tape too) and apply a very light coat of body filler (bondo) to the outer surface and sand it smooth. I would not worry at all about vibrations loosening this repair...by having it sandblasted prior to repairing it, it roughs up the surface to allow the fiberglass/ filler bond to the metal, as well as eliminating all the rust.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.
MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
