M7030 fender fell off

[asalm]

My boy Mike leaned on the tractor fender while driving and it fell off!
The bolts and threads are completely rusted out, way too far gone to
install a larger diameter bolt.
Any suggestions on how to approach this?

New bolts and bigger washers!

I'd hate to suggest a new fender! Good thing he didn't fall off!

Attach some pictures. It always helps!

Tell Mike to quit tearing up your tractor and stand on his own two feet!!lol!
I like the bigger washers idea, but you have to have room for them. Maybe a grinder to some fender washers if space is a problem.

Yeah should be easy fix.
I'd say hardest thing to it would be takin off rear tire/rim (loaded etc).
If Iron Mike did that to that big'ole M7030 remind me never to loan him my L3400DT.
