Hi Diana:
I'd suggest that you pull the spark plug lead so it does not accidently start, and then try this.
Place the mower at a height where you can easily see under it. I use the tailgate of my pickup trucl.
If you put the handle inside the bed of the truck you can put a weight on the handle so the deck is tipped up. With the spark plug disconnected (or even removed) rotate the blade. Chances are that the knocking sound will be from the blade hitting the deck. It is possible that the bolts keep breaking because the blade is not seating properly.
I'm guessing that once you can see under the mower you will find the problem.
