Ok, this is new as I just moved up from a BX. When I am trying to get my box blade centered on the tractor it seems that my pins on the stabilizers are in different holes on each side, is that possible? Should they be in the same hole on each stabilizer? When I did that the box blade was not centered.

are both lower links fairly tight against the box blade? There will be some "slop" in the connection.

If the pins are in the same holes on the stabilizers the implement should be centered, but on some of the pin hole there is one with a slot, this allows for a variance in implement pin width and will look like it's off when it's really not. ;)

After Posting this I read a post by Hodge on the subject, it basicly said I was acting like "Monk" if trying to measure for center and get all pins in the same hole, and being in different holes is fine.

Absolutely fine :D The stabilizers on my L1501 are similar with the hole position. On some implements they are in the same hole each side. On some they are offset ;)

Ok, well after removing my box blade and adjusting a little I was able to get them in the same hole on both sides, I must have been In a rush the first time.

Now my dealer had my top link in the bottom hole, but per the manual it says to use the top hole or position 1 for the top link to tractor connection. I can hit the rear cross bar already with my top link when I bring the 3pt up to the top. But I cannot get enough length on the top link in position 2 to tilt my box blade back far enough not cut.

There can be enough variance in the manufacturing of the stabilizer, and/or the implement frame, that the pins won't be in the exact same holes. They don't need to be- adjust it to where you want it, and pin the holes that line up.
