That bracket is meant to hold the top link up when not connected to anything. If you just let it hang, and back up to some implements, you can't raise the top link into place, it will hit the implement, so you use that bracket to hold it up. You don't need to remove it, just adjust it so that it doesn't hold up the top link when you want to lower it.

That part is nothing new, the dealer having to look it up is comical, they don’t know much..

as state above, you slip it one way to hold up the top link, you slip it the other way to release top link to let it pivot...
That's ok... MY dealer/salesman did not even know about the 1715 model till I walked into showroom, but they had a 1705 and a 1710 and a 1720 on the lot....

Great, appreciate the information.
Got to say, having this and learning and planning for future stuff is exciting.

Amusing that basic questions have to be researched by the dealer. That’s ok, this forum is great. I’m impressed by all the responses and information here.

Yep - they got it: it's the top link support bracket; better to leave that one on. Once you get more comfortable, you may consider removing the PTO guard - that thing is a total PITA because it has to be screwed/unscrewed in order to move it between the raised and lowered positions. Definitely your call, but give it time.

I will put the bracket back on, now that I understand it.
Appreciate all the help,
