That would mean your toplink is too short...I do but it pushed the floating link down more into the driveshaft.

Loosen off your top link bracket on the mover and rotate it up, looks like it was moved down for shipping reasons.
Edit: the top link is usually like this, not inside the triangle.View attachment 710664

The toplink in your original images, you need to extend at least 4" on each side so that the floating link does not drop inside (or break 90 degrees).I purchased a shorter one today because the factory one wouldn’t fit. Too long.
This is what others have done on brush hogs, should work on a finish mower.
Remove the bracket and pin the top link there. May have to enlarge the hole.
Remove the braces to the rear and replace with chains.
Modify the front brace so it can pivot:

I did not originally notice you had it all the way retracted.
This is an image of my brush mower when it is sitting on the ground.I just tried that with my original top link. It wouldn’t fit unless I put the floating link above the brackets and towards the back of the mower. It definitely didn’t hit the pto shaft but it still only lifts the front of the mower then when I lower it it flips over and falls below the 90 degree mark towards the pto shaft again. Any ideas?
