Matt, I have tried every angle and it will fit one way but it is upside down from the depicted way in any of the pictures of other tractors and it makes the PS valve hang down too far below the frame rails. If you notice that the notched corner of the bracket should face to the front right to match up with the cut off stud on the PS valve. Well if I try that, there is no way to get it to fit. The cross brace in the frame gets in the way and if I raise it up enough to clear the brace then the slope at the top of the side rail hits the top edge of the bracket where the holes are. I guess that's why they went to a simpler bracket on some models or to save money. There are two holes in my frame rail that match up perfectly with the bracket but the lower cross brace that has the brake safety switch mounted on it is in the way. I'm thinking about using the two holes that held the OEM column in place and modifying the bracket to fit them. Or if Wally sends me the measurements on the "Y" bracket I can cut the bracket I have to match it. The main problem I have with fabricating a bracket is that I do not know how low to let the valve hang down. It looks to me that IH used the same frame drill jigs on the frame rails even though some of the holes would not work on every model. Thanks for jumping in and keep it up.
