If 2 difficult bolts were your ONLY problem, you're living in HOG HEAVEN!
If I encountered one with really difficult access, I'd loosen the 4 big rear mount bolts, loosen the 2 upper front yoke bolts & pry back on the engine. While prying back, tighten the 4 rear bolts.
NO telling what has been slightly tweeked over the years & might not even be noticeable to the frail eyeballs. Think about how many cars might have been push started by Yo' Model A, or pushed 47 miles to home, after it quit, over in East Texas! OR, when it was used to push out small trees, or roped around the outhouse, to move it to a location, FURTHER AWAY frum the MAIN HOUSE???
