Yes, you are correct, the casting would be vulnerable as well, maybe more so than the bolt. Same goes though, a joint tightly clamped with bolts is much stronger in the long run than one which has the bolts loose or even not tightened to specs. Bolts should always be torqued to the recommended working load(tension) for the bolt. Fortunately, most old tractors had lots of safety factor most places in the design and one or two bolts not torqued up made no difference. However, add heavy stress items like a loader and everything must be right.
