Thanks it should all be good in a week or so, But I'm going to figure out a way to fish with it this way for sure. []
It's a shame they done that to your plow, but sense they did, might as well just redo some of their work to fit your needs, You may be able to find a new draw bar for it but even then you may still have a issue. Are those set up so you could rotate the draw bar to adjust the pin locations? Looks as if you are well on your way to having it set up for your needs, I'll have to measure on mine and see where the edge of the tire in relation the the front plow edge falls with the 25" measurement you mentioned, where did you come up with that?
Ken Sweet gave that plow setup information in this old TBN thread

BTW: the width of the track on my Mahindra 5525 is about 58" measured from the centers of the rear tires.
Yes, that plow crossbar/drawbar can be rotated. Right now it's set properly for plowing. The way the pins are positioned now, there's no way to rotate the crossbar and simultaneously get the lower arm pins to attach correctly while maintaining the proper plow alignment.
No problem. I've just returned from my steel guy with a piece of 1/2" x 3" bar stock that I'll drill and weld in the correct place tomorrow.
