So, what are you going to do? One way or another, you have to get that forward cutting edge to extend as far below the side panels as the rear one. You will not be able to shorten the top link enough to that Tyrannosaurus cutting edge to engage.

I think you have two options.

Remove the canted angle iron mounting and replace it with one at the proper angle
or
Drill new mounting holes in the existing angle iron low enough to properly position the front cutting edge.

It is possible that the angle iron mount was welded in at a cant from the factory.

I'm not sure. First thing will be to flip it over and see what I see. If I attempt to fix it, then I will try drilling new holes in the blade. I'm not a welder and I'm not gonna spend very much time or money having it corrected. If it appears that it was sold new like this, then I'll at least see what my local dealer has to say about it. After seeing what you guys think, I'm guessing that I made a rookie mistake and bought a bent Box blade. I can say that if I end up purchasing a new one, unfortunately it won't be a LP. Less than impressed if it bent like that on this tractor.

If you just lower the blade, it's going to be at an aggressive angle. I thought at first the holes in the angle might be slotted for adjustment.

If the BB was bought new with the tractor and the angle was installed wrong, K or the dealer might foot the bill. Correcting the angle should be a quick cut, fit, weld for a welding shop.
