thingamabob not in proper place

I did see one mounted on a BX FEL using the hydro up front but I wanted my FEL to carry my poles so I used the 3pt. The yellow stand on the pounder into the ground takes the punishment.

On my 2001 BX2200 this spring I lost all steering. Turns out it was the same problem you had. the two bolts in your picture loosened up and one was missing. Can't remember if it was both sides and I don't think the brackets were bent. It was a quick fix for me, the longest delay was looking for the correct metric bolt to replace the missing one. Glad you posted this as I had forgotten and It would be a good idea for me to recheck this before winter. Been working well all summer for mowing.
