The manual for the L203A says to put the bottom 2 bolts of the loader frame with the washers and nuts on the outside of the frame. The front bottom has a welded bolt on the inside so maybe they made a mistake in the install instructions? The rear bottom one looks like it can go either way - putting the nut inside doesn't look like it will interfere with anything but the manual states these must be facing out as to not interfere with the front drive shaft? If someone has a minute could they look at how theirs is mounted, if all bolt heads are on the outside of the fame?

Thanks.

it helps me 1/2 way... Is the bottom bolt on the bottom back side of the mount going in or out? I put the bolt going in with the nut on the inside of the frame and it seems to look like it should not interfere with anything.

Thanks for the help!

I would put the nut out so i could get to it with a torque wrench easier if i was gonna go by the book putting it on.

On a fastener the nut usually turns easier so you torque the nut and hold the bolt. Unless it is a blind hole where you have to turn the bolt.
