I purchased a 1959 D-17 that had a 3 point conversion kit already on the tractor. I then purchased a 3 point hay stabber it fits but
I have not been able to use it when I raise the arms the hay stabber
actually lowers making it so the bale slides off. Any Idea is it the
3 point conversion that isn't adjusted correctly or is it the hay stabber that is the problem. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Is it two of three point mount. Mine rest under the arm so a different arm might rest different.

Sound like your 3rd arm to long to me

I think he's talking about the adjustable top link that is in the bracket between your PTO and your seat.

I use a separate top link for my pallet fork attachment that I do for other things. its a good old heavy IH link and is easier to adjust under load than the cheapo new ones you get nowadays

Adjust the toplink and you will be right on target!---your geometry is off ! lift arms and top link have be set to run parallel when lifting! thanks; ac fleet

Top link needs lower on tractor or higher on bale mover. MACK
