Is there any reason why locktite would not be a good idea to use on the nuts in the TM? I've read a lot of post refering to nuts which have vibrated loose. Wondering if this product might help.

Betty,

I certainly hope there's no reason to "not" use locktite (or it's equivalent). I've used thread lock fluid (not locktite) on my shell hold-down bracket screws.

Just be sure you get the version which allows the bolts/screws to be removed with ordinary tools. The fluid of my thread-lock was sky-blue. There was a red fluid version which has more holding power. So, beware - there are different levels of holding power available. If you get the industrial strength version, need a drill-to-remove kind, it might become a sticky-wicket kind of problem eventually.
