    Pats Cat 2 on an MX5200?

    I bought a Pats Cat 2 Quick attach set for my MX5200. The directions say they are intended for lift arms from 3.25 to 4 inches. The arms on the MX are 3. However they came with shims and the .75 inch shims appear to do the trick to make them fit. So I'm not sure if I'm missing something...
