John, the brackets on front should be just wide enough to clear the frame. If they aren't, they are bent. You didn't weld a new pin on. It has to have two pins, or you will have to bolt it on. Either way is fine. That frame is meant for both narrow frames with the QA mount up front, and the old bolt on style, like the O-the 1X2/3 series. The pins should line up and snap into the QA latch. When it is latched in, the holes in the top of the blade bracket should also line up with the corresponding holes in the frame.
You got the rear mount in the right spot. Goes on the outside of the frame.
The yellow bracket in the last pic behind the foot rest/ lift bar is a PO mod. Remove it.
