I own a L3901 Kubota tractor and recently purchased a 72" Pinnacle Series box blade from Homestead Implements in Jamestown, NY. I am having issues with the turnbuckles rubbing on the rear tires. What am I doing wrong?

Looks like those are the Cat2 mounts. Move your arms in and insert pins there. Should get the turnbuckles away from the tires a bit.

You need to increase the length of those, turn them out. - making these move this way

those couple of inches will make all the difference in the world

The lift arms should be In this position.

As Matt Ellerbee pointed out the outer slots are for hooking up to a Cat 2 hitch, while your L3901 is a Cat 1.

Turn the turnbuckle so that it gets longer.
The turnbuckles may or will need to be elongated to reach the new position - you still want a little bit of movement once the pins have been moved.
