Well, I found the nut. It conveniently fell off and landed on an engine mount, like a little tray. As for the bushings, the last time that the belts fell off, due to this issue, we replaced the bushings, as they were shot. I don't know what it is, more than likely a worn bolt/nut, but this thing will not stay tight for any long period of time.
As for the alternator adjusting bolt, it spins fairly easily, and when the engine is running, the alternator vibrates quite noticeably. I don't really trust it to make it to the mechanic. My main fear is that the belts will slip off.
As for the home repair, I am still having difficulty just getting the bolt to slide all the way through. There is not a whole lot of room to maneuver my hands or the bolt.
