I've seen alot of discussion on not using the top hole on the toplink connection on the N tractors, like my 8N.. seems the torque is too high, and can rip the guts out of the draft controlls, etc.
Most people I know use that hole to store an extra toplink pin.... as a reminder not to use it.
I cobbled up a hazard plaqard that the bracket uses that hole.. but doesn't interfere with the other two, or hit the driver in the seat...
this way, there is no way to accidentally forget and us ethe top hole... or if you loan the tractor out ( gasp!/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif ) it won't accidentally happen either.
