Backhoe Mounting a 7 on a John Deere 855

[PJChopper]

Hello all,
New to the forum but needing some help. I am trying to put the front hanging brackets on my 855 for the 7 backhoe and the U bolts that I got from JD will not fit over my cross tube. I double checked and even called JD to make sure I got the correct front hanging brackets and bolts. I have a Woods LS72 FEL on it now and am not sure that makes a difference over the 70 FEL. Not getting much help from JD at this point. Any help would be greatly appreciated as well as pictures.
Thanks

Don't Know about the hoe . But I also have the LS72 loader on my 855 . How do you Like it ? Pics of the front Hanging brackets would help. I do know the LS72 has brackets along both sides of the frame that the 70 loader does not have.

Correct U-bolts fit standard 2 1/2" heavy walled square tubbing. Should be pretty staight foward there.
