Basically same issue, but with a couple twists. I can't get the top link to settle into the groove because the U piece for the top link of ny bushhog isn't wide enough to clear the edges of the QH. I also have the hook of the QH on the top bolt holes so I can't force it any lower. I could possibly grind down the tips of the U to give it a slight clearance? Not sure if that's the right answer though.

I also have almost the same thing with my finishing mower, FDR1672, which allegedly is QH compatible according to the sticker on it, but its U-piece is the same width as the QH. Not sure where to go with this.

I did but an adaptor off Amazon for the bushhog but it has a poor fit as well. Any ideas welcomed!

Take that U bracket off and replace it with the adapter? Like in the pic..

QH top hooks are notoriously short (all seem to come from one chinese factory) .... You can use funky aftermarket adapter and will work or get "extended" top hook instead of having to get adapter for each implement...
