I am having some trouble with the the lower two bolts the connect the loader tower arms to the case. On the left side they were prone to looseing up so I kept a wrench and tightened them regulary. Well, I ended up lending my tractor out and he didn't check them. 2 were falling out, and one was extremely loose when I picked it up. All the rest were loose. I went and picked up some new bolts but the lower back one one screw in.

At this point I am thinking it's time to take it to the dealer. Maybe a helicoil. Any other ideas/suggestions?

Maybe you could have the hole welded shut and then redrill and retap it. Then use some thread locker on the bolts.
