I got your email, and finally checked my 1750 yesterday. There is a 1/2&quot; piece of flat steel between my front mount and where it bolts to the front frame of the tractor. I don't know if these were added in or were stock, but they space it so the loader fits snugly on the front mounts. Pretty simple to add in since the front of a 1750 has the flat mount. The only thing I can think of to fix it on a 2-85 is to drill new holes in the mount bracket, but 1/2&quot; will only turn the holes into slots. Maybe there is a reason they left the space on the front bracket, but I don't know what it would be.
