Yes, it is not set up to attach the top link direct. I noticed it from the picture as well and the seller let me know before I went out so I brought my quick hitch which actually fit perfectly.Doesn't look like it has been abused and in pretty good shape. Check the gearbox oil and for signs of leakage underneath on the output shaft. Note: it is common in some areas of the country to remedy leaking seals with bearing grease. Check that the blades rotate freely and are not bent and are even. Check for play in the U-joints . Also noticed that it appears to be set up for a quick-hitch, in that the top link connector is missing.
