My Allied 594 Loader frame seems to be leaning lower on one side... but every thing looks correct on the mounting. Can this be adjusted?

One of your lift cylinders may be not holding....
Sometimes there is an internal seal problem letting oil bypass.
Or worst, you racked the loader doing a task.

First check your rear tire pressure. Make sure both are the same. Check all your mounting bols to make sure they are tight. Park it on a level surface and take some measurements to see if it actually is the loader that is cocked.

Cylinders seem to be OK. Crossbar support in front of grill (mounted to the tractor) sure looks uneven to me... but I can't see where it is twisted...

AFTER you check tire pressure (and it doesn't take much difference between the tires' pressure to make the loader look cocked), try removing and reinstalling your loader on a flat (concrete) surface.
Obviously, I'm assuming it's a quick attach loader.
While the loader is off, you may as well check the mast mounts bolted to your tractor's frame. Wouldnn't hurt to retorque the mounting bolts.
BTW, since you wrote you have an Allied loader...that's an aftermarket loader. Did you install it initially? Still have the manual? Suggest you review that manual...

Thanks; yes, I do have the manual (interesting thing... when I called Allied to ask about this loader, they realized the manual for it was totally useless... and updated it! (Revision 2/11).
I bought the tractor used, with the loader mounted.
I looked again at the loader this morning... I think the previous owner dropped something on the front corner of the framework.

I don't think dropping something on the loader would rack it...you'd see other damage (pretty major dents, at least).
Now, the previous owner may have tried to lift a heavy weight, slab of concrete, tree stump with a corner of the bucket...that would rack the loader...but you would have seen this before you bought the tractor, I would think...
My tractor came with a racked loader. Wasn't obvious in the pics (yeah, bought it 'remote'ly).
I later realized that the loader mount on the left side had problems with the mounting bolts and a poor repair (one bolt had apparently wobbled out and been replaced re-threaded & replaced with a larger SAE bolt, another bolt had been replaced incorrectly with an SAE bolt). I had it repaired and then welded a bracket extension to it.
The point being that re-torquing the mount bolts and inspecting them for cracked paint (stress & bend points) would be worthwhile. Nothing like several hundred pounds of bolt torque to work up a sweat!

I noticed checking tire pressure was suggested, so was it at the correct pressure? Does it seem lazy/sluggish on one side? Are there any leaks cylinder or lines?
