Stabilizer mounts with a roll bar.

3-cyl ford 2000 with roll bar.

I purchased the correct stabilizer kit but there is no way I can mount the brackets to properly line up with lower lift pins.

Do I have to ditch the roll bar?

It looks like I could mount the brackets and the fenders with the same bolts W/O the roll bar in place and things would line up. Fenders are now mounted on the roll bar bolts.

Ideas?
 
A bit of clarification needed.
Does the roll bar have a pair of plates that go under the axle and you are trying to add a pair of stay brackets under those?
Others here are better informed about the requirements of ROPS or roll bars but I would think the brackets could replace the plates and then you could have both features on your tractor.
 
Yes heavy plates under the axle with four bolt holes. The stabilizer mounts are two bolt. Sorry do not have a picture. It looks like there is a place on the axle between the current four bolts of the roll bar where you can mount the fenders with the link bracket below. Can't do this with the roll bar in place. The other issue is the pins will not line up with the lower link pins with the plate in place, it will be inches too low.

Although the roll bar is a safety feature it will get in my way when I'm brushhoging the edge of fields with overhanging branches or pulling logs out of the woods. It might have to go.
