I have a 254 with FEL. The FEL has channel steel running up both sides of the tractor about hood height, and then across the front just in front of the hood. I mounted mine on top of the front left corner of this FEL framing. The framing across the front can be easily removed by pulling 2 hitch pins, so I also stuck a 20' chain in a piece of 3″ PVC pipe and mounted it behind the front framing piece.
