Before I go fooling with that, I would rather fully understand the proper adjustment procedure. I'm hoping this would be in a service manual which I don't have.

So I'm a bit confused. When I got my max 28 with the mmm it did not come with that bracket with the different holes for the different heights. I just have a set point that I lower the 3ph to and mow. Did my dealer not give me everything I needed. It mows great without that bracket with the different hole settings. My dealer also told me that the mower could not be operated with the backhoe attached. Not sure I would want to use either implement with the other on anyway but...

If you have the Mahindra 60" mower it should in fact have those parts. It can work- as you have experienced- without it, but it allows you to set your mower to a consistent cut height without guessing with the lever. Do you have the manual that came with your mower deck?
You can have the mower on and even be able to mow with the backhoe on, but you are limited to only the fully raised and pinned position at 4" cut height. As you said... not that you would want to, but you can.

After we just bought the Max to go with the new property, there was an incident. I had cut down the tall grass with the brush hog and mmm a few time myself to make sure there were no "surprises" lurking in the weeds to hit. Then one day, I let the missus in the seat to let her mow happily along. Now it just so happens this was the same day I took the picture that is now my avatar. After several hours when she was done mowing and parked, I noticed something different about that linkage at the drawbar.
To this day I do not know what caused this, and probably never will. My dealer said I had to have hit something. There was no smoking gun to say otherwise, so my wallet is lighter versus a warranty issue. So what I am saying is all this bracketry was fixed/replaced once before. The wife hasn't been on the tractor since.

We are ALL Wrong!
Now that I have the appropriate manuals and it is all much clearer. First of all, adjustment of the feedback link rod was definitely needed to get my tractor lift arms raising as high as they should at 4.0 inches. Secondly there is a SEPERATE and DIFFERENT drawbar used when mounting the BH with the mower attached. It is all spelled out in the MB60 Operators Manual. Thirdly, there is separate mower linkage kit that is necessary to gain the lift height (MHM649) to allow for the additional spacer.
