I just put the bracket mule drive on my SA. On one side I had the stud in the top hole only. Then you can lift the mule-drive up and hang it on the stud then raise it to the other side and put in a bolt. Then you can easily put in the other 2 bolts on each side. The mule-drive I have is Woods made and I guess they make them a little short to make sure they'll fit between all finals on all tractors. I had to shim out each side 1/4". Also make sure you don't use bolts that are too long or you'll punch a hole in the final when tightening. On each side, 2 of the holes are tapped all the way thru so the length is not critical but on one hole it has a bottom. If you put too long a bolt here and over-tighten you can crack the final into the oil resevoir and end up with a leak. Best to slip a tape measure in this hole first to make sure your bolt is not too long. If you haven't used these holes best to run a tap in them first to clean out junk or rust. On the threaded thru holes, 2" bolt with lockwasher is good, the other hole best is 1 1/2" bolt with lockwasher. If you can find 1 1/2" bolts this is good everywhere. I bought my bolts at Tractor Supply and the shortest they sell in 3/4" is 2" so I had to cut down 2 for the blind holes.
The Woods diagram calls for 1 1/2" bolts and standard washers for shimming. You may need to use more than one washer on each side to shim snug before tightening.
