It could as long as you mount it to clear the bottom of the top hook. On my iMatch there are three holes in the top crossmember. Two on the right side of the top hook, one on the left. Might be able to weld onto a receiver hitch tube a bolt on mounting plate.
For myself I want it above so that I could use the receiver hitch with 3pt implements attached. Here are two examples. I have a receiver hitch 4 position bike rack that would also be a great and secure attachment point for handled (rakes/shovels) or long shank (weedeater) tools. I also have a receiver hitch cargo hauler that would permit carrying all kinds of stuff above an attached implement.
My HF QH has those extra mounting holes on it also, not the JD though, I have one of those cargo haulers too and thought about using it on the tractor someday, I've never used it for anything yet. My neighbor bought one and I thought it looked great and had to have one myself
I'm wondering if the side pockets I was considering in my original post could be made to support a John Deere hook & pin set up on the back side to facilitate FEL mounting.
That's a great idea too, kill 2 birds with 1 stone. Looking at the pic roy posted, I could visualize what you are talking about. should be pretty simple, just have to make those compartments wide enough to fit the loader carriers.
Myself, I have yet to desire using 3 pt implement on loader, except the boom pole, that sounds like a practical use. I already have a boom pole for my loader bucket though, using, (you guessed it) a receiver tube
