That's what leads me to believe that something is up with the top bolt, or it's missing. Obviously that tiny mount can't hold 1/3 of the weight and torque forces of a motor and tranny by itself.
Maybe the top bolt is designed to hold the bulk of it, and the lower one gives it more stability or something? I wouldn't even trust attaching a cherry picker to that bolt hole, seeing how thin those gussets are. Would you? Seriously, even belt-driven accessories have beefier mounting points. I've never seen that weak of motor mount attachment point. Just my 2 cents.
