Frame bolts
My 108 has been a tad wobbly for a while and I just discovered why. The bolts that attach body to frame just in front of the rear wheel wells apparently worked loose, and now the bolt holes through the body that are supposd to be round have elongated considerably in the vertical axis. I kinda doubt the bolts are gonna hold tight now through a winter of snow plowing that has begun 2 months before winter
Any ideas to hold them tight or take up that slack that requires little brains, money or ability?

weld a flat washer to the frame where the bolt goes through

I assume you're talking about the bolts down where your feet go?

frame to transmission
Sort of. 3" above the very rear of the foot rest, immediately in front of rear wheel well. And I was wrong, it doesnt bolt body to frame; it bolts frame to transmission. I think the washer idea would work, but I don't weld.

I think you're going to need to post a pic of this so we can get a better idea of what exactly is going on.

I'll try....there's another just like it on the other side. You're looking at the left side intersection of frame, footrest and wheel well. That bolt goes through the frame and into a threaded extension of the tranny case.

Put new bolts in and make them tight. It'll be fine. Check the other 8 or 10 bolts that hold the rear in. They're probably all loose.

They're so loose they're almost all missing. Is there a way to look up what size they were?

I see the old bolt in your pic. Match it up.

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.
