Top pins are spaced the same, are the bottom U the same distance?

EDIT: I just reread what you wrote.
Pic's distance looked the same till I looked again.
Each mount being off 1/2" makes a huge difference.

Take all the bolts out except close to the pipe, then rotate the mounts till you get the exact same measurement.
You will probably have to slot some holes to get it to bolt back up.

It would probably be better to just rotate one of the mounts, if you can.
Then slot that mounting holes trying to get at least one to not be slotted so it stays put.

One odd detail that has me a little puzzled.
Are the bolts you used SAE?
As they should be metric?

I’ll try that. Thank you

I was thinking about this and if I rotate one, then the bottom piece connecting both attachments won’t line up. If I do both, then it defeats the purpose and the gap will stay the same. This sucks. The bottom piece seems important in distributing the weight of the loader, I would have to modify this too.

Just loosen it, and I bet the arms will rotate.

do you think it will clear the bell housing? The notch is tight and not much room. But I’m willing to try.

I just went and took more measurements. The steel tube/pipe is the same distance from the front axle (see pictures) but the arm the loader sits on and gets locked in has a 2 inch difference from left to right. The right side is further back. Weird. I wonder if this is also why you can put this loader on this tractor model.

Really sounding like you have a bad set of mounts?
Don't use the front axle as a reference point.
You need to use the front of the frame.
Don't measure to the pipe, measure to the mounting points.
