Factory Goof was my first thought, but now I'm at the point that I don't care "Why" (it's like that) just "How" (can I use it as is). For what I want to do it's just not worth swapping frames with another tractor. Next thought was sawing the collars off of another frame and welding them to this one. If these Frankinstein Bolts work it will be fine with me. I just figure that lifting the tiller will be somewhat of a load so I'll keep an eye on them to make sure they don't twist the frame.
I'll have to check the serial number and see if this tractor was a late model when they were getting ready to do a production change. Maybe it's a morphidite of some kind.
