MF 216 loader on 25hp 2cyl mounting

[Desert Bred]

Hi guys, I have a MF216 loader for my 25hp Taishan that is much too long for the mounting hardware.

I welded on the front mount directly onto the frame after removing the front bumper/hitch thingamajig.

Does the front mount look ok?

ok, anyone own a 216 loader, if so what tractor do you have it on?
